Academic Background

Since 2008 I specialise on the intersection of design and philosophy of technology, and my publications have appeared in academic journals such as Design Issues and Design Studies. From 2015 to 2021, I taught at the Rio de Janeiro State University (Esdi-Uerj), where I also assumed the positions of vice coordinator of the graduate program and of coordinator of research. In recent years I have consulted part time for global corporations on design-driven digital innovation. I hold a bachelor degree in Industrial Design (Esdi-Uerj, 2003), a MSc degree in Strategic Product Design (TU Delft, 2007), and a PhD in Design (TU Delft, 2012).
