I am a Brazilian artist-designer, educator, and researcher working across art, design, communication, and process-based learning. I hold a Ph.D. in Visual Arts from the University of São Paulo and completed postdoctoral research in the United States and Spain, experiences that expanded my work across artistic, educational, and interdisciplinary research environments.

For more than two decades, I taught in higher education in Brazil, developing courses and learning environments that connect studio practice, visual communication, image analysis, and creative process. My work supports artists, designers and students in understanding how ideas emerge, encounter resistance, and take form through action, revision, and interpretation.

My research focuses on the relations between art and design and on how meaning is shaped through images, media, and formal choices. This inquiry informs both my teaching and my practice, helping me design learning experiences that are reflective, practice-based, and responsive to different contexts and learners.

I am also the founder of In Process – Creative Residency, an award-winning program recognized in Brazil for innovation in art and design education. Across multiple editions, the residency has brought together workshops, exhibitions, mentorship, public programs, and accessibility strategies to create inclusive spaces for observing how ideas move, change, and gain form.

Now based in Greater Boston, I am interested in collaborations with universities, art schools, museums, and cultural organizations seeking interdisciplinary approaches to art, design, communication, and creative learning.
