I'm a Doctoral Fellow at the Institute of Landscape and Urban Studies (LUS), ETH Zürich. Previously, I worked as a designer, educator, and writer. My research engages East and West Berlin’s mass housing landscapes. I'm also interested in modernist urbanism in Brazil and Canada.
I previously taught as an adjunct professor at the University of Houston and published in journals such as OASE, Pidgin, PLAT, Room One Thousand, CoSMo, City, Culture & Society, and Paprika!
My design collaborations encompass architecture, landscape architecture, and urban design firms. They include Dept. and SWA in Houston, yellow z and a24landschaft in Berlin, and ZT Arquitectos in Lisbon.
I hold degrees in architecture, urban design, and planning from Rice University and TU Berlin, where I taught and researched in various assistant positions. I was also a Fulbright fellow at UC Berkeley and a DAAD fellow at the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro. Other grants brought me to the Universidade de Lisboa, Tongji University, and the CCA in Montreal.
