A FEW WORDS

About Me

Architecture has taken me from Portugal to the UK and then to the UAE — and over time, my role has evolved from drawing buildings to helping teams deliver them.

I’m an Associate Architect based in Abu Dhabi, working across design management, client liaison, and project operations. I’ve learned that the success of a project often comes down to things that aren’t sketched on day one: clear decisions, well-managed expectations, and the systems that keep teams moving in the same direction.

I enjoy bringing structure to complex environments, supporting teams, and bridging the gap between design intent and on-site reality. Whether I’m reviewing details, aligning consultants, or supporting commercial discussions, my focus is always on delivering with clarity and purpose.

Main Focus:

Multidisciplinary Project Leadership
Client & PMC Liaison
Commercial & Operational Support
Studio Systems & Workflow Development
