I work with stoneware and use the potter’s wheel, hand building, or a combination of both techniques to achieve my designs.
Each piece is unique with a diversity of forms and functions, clay types, and firing methods.

My focus is a combination of aesthetic exploration and technical mastery, with special attention to ergonomics.
My work is to be to be enjoyed, and hopefully, it will bring beauty into people’s lives. As an instructor, I hope to inspire others to love ceramics as much as I do.
Formal Education: Master of Product Design, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC
Bachelor of Industrial Design, Universidad Federal do Estado do Paraná, Curitiba, PR, Brazil
Bachelor of English, Universidad Católica do Paraná, Curitiba, PR, Brazil
I often tell a little about how I started as a potter to my new students, hoping to find common ground and give them an incentive.
