Highlights & Up Next
Speaker at FDD 2026.
I'll be at Floripa Design Days 2026, an event dedicated to strengthening the design and innovation ecosystem in Florianópolis. On March 27 and 28, I'll be joining over 600 professionals at the Passeio Sapiens Auditorium.
Invited by Garupa, I will be joining the panel "The Deconstruction of Romantic Design: Resignifying the relationship with work". Alongside Anna Laux (Garupa Design) and Mariana Almeida (Mercado Livre), we will explore the gap between idealized design discourse and the daily reality within organizations.
