Born and raised in Brazil and now living in Atlanta, I am a design historian with experience as a researcher, editor, and content writer for museums and galleries. My work spans curatorial projects, design, and writing, with multiple published essays and award-winning books that have contributed to the design history canon. I have also played a key role in noteworthy exhibitions in the US and internationally.

​

My research focuses on twentieth-century material culture, particularly the relationship between objects and space. I am especially interested in mid-century Brazilian and American design and the construction of domestic ideals, which also informs my investigations into popular culture and gender issues. Craft is another central theme in my work, which I explore as a practice that is simultaneously avant-garde and traditional, technical and personal.

​

I hold master’s degrees in the History of Design and Curatorial Studies from Parsons School of Design and Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, and in the History and Social Foundations of Architecture and Urbanism from the School of Architecture and Urbanism, University of São Paulo (FAU-USP). I also have a BA in Architecture and Urban Planning from the Association of Architecture and Urban Planning Education of São Paulo, Escola da Cidade (AEAUSP).
