As a first generation Brazilian American, I think a lot about accessibility, belonging, and creating experiences that feel welcoming and human. I’m interested in designing in a way that helps people feel more connected to where they are and who they’re with, without technology getting in the way.

Outside of design, I spend a lot of time exploring music, whether that’s finding new artists or getting into older ones, especially 90s rock. I also love pop culture, traveling, and experiencing new places and cultures. I’m especially drawn to past eras and enjoy thinking about how those influences can be reworked into something that feels relevant today, which often carries into my work.
