Creating has been my deepest driving force since childhood — a way of making sense of the world, of giving form to questions, intuitions, and stories. An insatiable curiosity for both the real and the imagined continues to guide my multidisciplinary practice, as I move between architecture, art, and design. My work is rooted in making — with hands, with care, with attention — and nourished by a profound connection to human experience, cultural heritage, and ancestral wisdom.

I graduated in 2016 with a degree in Architecture and Urban Planning in São Paulo, the same year I co-founded Flipê Arquitetura. What began as a studio for set design soon unfolded into a space for experimentation — a ground for exploring the possibilities of architecture, interiors, and furniture. As Flipê’s creative director, alongside an incredible team, I’ve shaped the studio into a force of creative innovation, earning recognition worldwide, including my inclusion in the Forbes Under 30 Brazil list in 2022.

Since 2024, I’ve also been nurturing Mest — an interdisciplinary practice based in New York that inhabits the space between concept and matter. Mest emerges from a commitment to sustainable, hands-on processes that honor materials and the poetics of craft, while cultivating collaborations that interconnect geographies and disciplines.

My way of seeing is shaped by where I come from — by the vibrant cultural weave of Brazil, by the spiritual force of Bahia, and by the enduring relationships with Indigenous communities in the Xingu. These experiences ground my practice in a broader inquiry into belonging, resilience, and transformation — where creating becomes a form of listening, remembering, and imagining otherwise.
