An entrepreneur with a main focus on business expansion, establishing market positions and developing cutting-edge and environmentally friendly materials. I help construction professionals not only in the selection of materials, but also in the search for effective solutions.

With over a decade of experience in architecture and design, a significant part of my career has been dedicated to technical specification, contributing to notable national and international projects that have achieved LEED and WELL certifications for sustainable construction and well-being.

As the founder of Mood Design, I seek innovation and technology through sustainability.
Our focus is to bring the best solutions in the world for exteriors (facades).

In 2023, we launched the world's first table that captures carbon during the largest design fair in the world, marking a pioneering feat in Brazilian technology. The Ópera table, inaugurated at Milan Design Week, incorporates design elements inspired by the architectural landscape of Curitiba. The capital of Paraná in the 1990s, paying homage to its parks, public spaces and innovative urban language. The inspiration was the city of Curitiba as that was where I grew up and lived my whole life.

The table's design is also inspired by Roman architectural aesthetics, mixing modernity with antiquity and presenting a fusion of local and global influences.

The Ópera table features Active®, an ultra-compact coating (6 mm thick) with advanced technological attributes, with emphasis on carbon capture.

This unique coating, applied to the table surface, effectively removes pollutants and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the surrounding air through a photocatalytic process, facilitated by ambient light and humidity.

Additionally, Active® offers antibacterial and antiviral properties, including 99% efficacy against SARS-CoV-2, along with anti-odor and self-cleaning capabilities. It has several international certifications, including ISO and LEED, and contributes to 11 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

We presented at the "Innovation for Living" exhibition, organized by Designtech in collaboration with Isola Design District and Designwanted, held in "La Cattedrale" (Via Mario Pannunzio, 3) in Certosa. The exhibition, curated by renowned design firm Pinininfarina, highlighted innovative solutions for contemporary living.
