Welcome to my site and thank you for taking a look!


I'm a Brazilian-American Fashion Designer born and raised in New York City. My love for Design is rooted in the marriage of form and function, and is inspired by the visual and cultural contrasts of Rio de Janeiro and NYC. Sports and outdoor activities - such as skiing, surfing, soccer, and tennis - are some lifelong influences that drive my passion for smart product. I believe that Quality should be synonymous with Environmental and Human Sustainability, and that Luxury product is that which exists in the service of others.

I have 12 years of Professional Design experience, mainly specializing in Luxury Menswear but also including Graphic, Print, and Pattern Design. I was 1 of 5 Designers in my graduating class at Parsons to be nominated for Menswear Designer of the Year and have since had the opportunity to work in Florence, Rio de Janeiro, New York City, and Los Angeles with factories throughout Italy, South America, Asia, and the United States.
