About me
Proud Dachshund Mom. Vinyl Collector (& DJ). Yoga Devotee. Designer Chairs Fanatic. Travel Enthusiast. Vintage Shopping Lover. Art Admirer. Hand Crafter.
I was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and moved to Austin, Texas at 16 to finish high school. Growing up, I spent a lot of time visiting family in Lebanon, which is how I ended up learning to speak four languages (Portuguese, English, Arabic, and Spanish). Bouncing between languages, people, and places rich in culture also exposed me to music from all over the world, which is what sparked my love for music.
I went on to study Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Design at Georgia Tech, a mix that let me dive into both the technical and creative sides of problem-solving.
Since then, I've gained experience across a few very different industries in product development, but the throughline has always been the same: understanding people and using technology to build things that actually make their lives better.
I'm drawn to the intersection of technology, design, and culture - and I'm always looking for the next thing to build, learn, or create.
