PERSPECTIVA INTERIOR - BOULEVARD

I was responsible for the design of Sonae Sierra’s new

projects across Europe and Brazil for 18 years.

In these years, I had the chance to work in many successful

projects with international design companies in many

different countries, acting as the developer’s architect and

design manager.

Most of the projects that actually came to life were

internationally recognized with important real estate and

design awards.

These projects gave the opportunity of developing a unique

global understanding of what strategic design means for the

real estate industry in 20 different countries.

Nowadays, when the real estate business is going through

the process of reinventing procedures, strategies, and

products, I believe I have the knowhow and skills to provide

the innovative approach the industry needs.
