I'm an architect and design leader who progressed from Architectural Designer II to Lead Architectural Designer at Evoke International Design, one of Architizer Journal's 30 Best Architecture Firms in Canada.
Today I direct all four of Evoke's residential design teams, reporting to principal architect David Nicolay. I'm the office's front line contact for clients through concept, permitting and construction administration. Before Canada, I co-founded a studio in São Paulo and worked with some of Brazil's leading firms.
