about
Hello! I am Camila, a Brazilian/Portuguese designer, architect, and urban planner currently based in São Paulo.
Since I received my Master’s Degree in Parametric Design in Architecture at the UPC, I have been collecting experiences that allow me to explore the possibilities that digital and generative tools offer to design, as well as to understand the importance of architecture and design from a sustainable and systemic point of view. My experience involves architecture, interior design, digital fabrication of furniture and products, 3D printing of fashion and small objects, and some artistic attempts.
