“My goal is to work in the exciting and attractive field of service design. Through a multidisciplinary and international path, I acquired knowledge and experience in marketing, communication, service design, sustainable innovation and project management. My education in engineering reinforced my analytical skills and rigor, and trained me to deal with complexity. Meanwhile strategic design developed my creativity, synthesis and innovation. I enjoy teamwork, having had several positive multicultural experiences and I adapt well to new environments.”
