I graduated Cum Laude in Architecture at Politecnico di Milano (2013), Master in Landscape Architecture at UPC ETSAB (2014) and in Spatial Planning and Environmental Management at Universitat de Barcelona (2015), Post-Graduate Dipl. in GIS applied to Urban Planning and Landscape (UPV, 2015) and in BIM Management (UB, 2017). I am a licensed Architect (COAC, Spain) and Landscape Architect (AEP/IFLA). I have a Ph.D. in Geography, Spatial Planning, and Environmental Management from the Universitat de Barcelona with a research project on urban water landscapes in Barcelona-Milan-Lisbon. I took additional courses in GIS, BIM Management, BIM Programming and Design & Visual arts.

Since 2010 I've trained and collaborated in architecture, landscape, and design firms in Italy and Spain (Spagnolo-Bandini, ABM, MAB, RCR, EMBT, Urbaning, Botània, Hub Design, VFA) in local and international projects and competitions. In 2013 I founded FS/9 Visuals, an artistic project focused on photography collage, and in 2015 I started working as an independent architect in biophilic interior and outdoor design as FS/9 Project. My landscape projects have been showcased at the 8th Barcelona Landscape Biennial "Schools Prize" and mentioned at Re-thinking The Future Awards 2014 and "IE Spaces for innovation" Prize. In 2017 I've been selected among the TOP10 Under36 Landscape Architects by NIB New Italian Blood.

In parallel, in 2015 I started a career in Building Information Modelling, as Autodesk Certified Instructor and Revit Certified Professional. From 2016 to 2019 I worked as Architect and BIM Lead for Factorhia SL and as outsourced for IDOM Consulting. In 2018 I co-founded BIMCreatives, a provider of BIM services based on out of the box thinking. From 2020 to 2022 I have been BIM Manager and consultant in relevant international companies such as LAND and ARUP and BIM Professor at Universitat de Barcelona / Econova Institute and UPC's Master in Landscape Architecture. I have recently joined Autodesk as Senior Technical Account Specialist, based in Madrid (Spain).

I can assist with Revit, Dynamo, ACC/BIM360, Navisworks, Infraworks, 3D Max, AutoCad and my core experience is in landscape, architecture, interior design, urban planning, interdisciplinary coordination (architecture - MEP - structures - infrastructures - landscape) and project management.

I consider myself a determined person looking forward to new challenges to use my varied experience to shape better places where people can live and thrive.
