About Me

With 5 years of practice, a Master of Architecture from Louisiana State University (LSU), in addition to a dual Bachelor degree in Visual Arts and Education from the University of the State of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ, Brazil), Ana has a unique combination of professional work, coastal research, and graphic design skills. Throughout her career, she has won two fellowships, two honorable mentions in design competitions, and traveled abroad to represent LSU. She believes academic and professional experiences are informed and enriched by an exchange of knowledge between the university and practice communities.
