I studied arts and dramatic expression at secondary school.
In 1998, I entered the University of Coimbra in the Department of Architecture, and in 2001-2002, I did Erasmus in Paris.
When I returned, I was part of the founding editorial team of nu, the DARQ student magazine, which is still active.
I graduated in 2005 and interned in Porto, the granite city where I was based.
I worked at aNC arquitectos and Pedra Líquida studio. At the same time, I continued to work as a freelancer, co-authoring several works.
I am co-founder of the publishing house, bookshop and architecture gallery Circo de Ideias (having been part of the management team until 2018) and the Pechakucha Night Porto (organising all five editions).
At the invitation of Casa da Arquitectura, I curated the 5th Open House Porto, titled 'Inner Life'.
In 2013, I started teaching at the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Porto as a guest assistant in the History of Modern Architecture practical component, a subject I taught until 2021.
In 2018, I defended my PhD thesis, 'Chiado and Style; The Importance of the Notion of Style in the Construction of Siza's Chiado', at FAUP.
Since then, I've been a researcher at the Centre for Architecture and Urbanism Studies, where I'm currently co-running the 'Siza Barroco' research project.
Between 2021 and 2023, I was a researcher at esad-idea and assistant curator for the Porto Design Biennale international conferences in 2021 and 2022.
In all my activities, the collective work and writing play a fundamental role as a means and vehicle for my architectural thinking.
In my mother tongue I write renouncing the 1990 spelling agreement.
