I completed my academic studies in Art + Technology from PUC-SP, one of the premier Brazilian universities within this field of study. During my coursework, I participated in several research and workshop projects. Upon graduating, I was required to present and design my university thesis which was an interactive installation project called "Venice". Since then, Venice has been on exhibition at "Paço Das Artes" in São Paulo, Brazil and at Academy of Media Arts (KHM) in Cologne, Germany.

My current profession is Senior Interaction Designer at R/GA, where I design digital experiences from websites to interactive installations.

Before R/GA, I worked as an interaction designer and information architect at several digital agencies such as Young Rubicam, Garage, EURO RSCG 4D and One Digital. My first opportunity as an Information Architect was in 2001 at Agência Click.
