Thinking back, I can see that I’ve been interested in design since childhood. I’ve always liked to create and produce things, from clothes (I tried…) to toys. This mindset led me to study for a bachelor degree in product design. My curiosity in many diverse areas motivated me to keep studying. I’m a specialist in diversity…

I’m constantly thinking about solutions. Things to do, ways to do things or how to do them in a better way. User oriented, human-centred, sustainable.

Since 1993 I am a professor at the Visual Communication Department of the Fine Arts School - Federal University of Rio de Janeiro.

As a freelance designer and studio owner, I worked alone and in teams, in both areas, graphic and product design.
