Designer profile

Having over 18 years of diverse international experiences, allowed me to become a cross business expert in fields ranging from Interior Architecture, D&B, Architecture, Strategic Planning, Product Design & Master planning. As a Creative Director, I have developed myself into a highly adaptable, innovative and strong leader capable of “getting things done”. Always thriving to achieve the highest level of results whilst ensuring that quality, schedule and budgets are respected.

When asked to complement my design skills with Market Sector Leadership, I have further accomplished an impeccable track record of successful clients and projects. Through a solid sense of partnership complimented with great communication and presentation skills, I was able to create truly collaborative projects across all parties involved.

Fluent in four languages and with a huge appetite for knowledge and challenge, I started to follow my passion for discovery at a young age of 18 by launching myself on a “Grand Tour”. After leaving Portugal to follow my passion for Architecture in Italy, it was clear how important the discovery of new cultures and ways of seeing the reality was to me. I have then further advanced my studies on some of the most prestigious universities around the world while being immersed on different cultures and mentalities

After working in some of the best offices in Europe and Asia, I am now Associate Director for AECOM, leading the interior design practice and clients for APAC projects.
