Information and interaction designer, and PhD candidate at the UBC School of Information. My doctoral research attends to stories of more-than-human interdependency and collaboration in community gardens, as I investigate how information and interaction design might address—and be reoriented within—a radically changing climate. I also hold a Master of Design at Emily Carr University, and a Bachelor of Visual Communication Design at UFPE, Brazil.

Originally from Recife, a coastal city in the northeastern region of Brazil, I grew up among stories of resilience and practices that highlight the importance of empowering the communities we live with and that nurture us. Today I continue my journey on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Coast Salish peoples of the Səlil̓wətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations. I am grateful to the Coast Salish peoples for their generosity, care and other teachings they share with and on these lands.
