Architect at Elgaard Architecture

Copenhagen, Capital Region of Denmark, Denmark

About

I’m an architect with more than 15 years experience carrying out a wide range of tasks. My approach to architecture is characterized by a dynamic, creative and theoretical well-founded work process where I navigate with a sure sense of functionality, language and aestethic gaze. I am organized and I work structured and sistematically, managing all project fases. I set a goal and go for it, taking responsabilities and working independently. I always know what I am doing, and why I am doing it. I’m a strong teamplayer with leadership capacities. I’m optimistic by nature and I love new challenges. I have worked with architecture in both Portugal and Spain, which has helped shaping me as a creative international architect. My second passion is graphic design, where I’ve been art director for editorial design (architecture and art publications), branding and promotional material for cultural events, such as theater and art exhibitions. I love what I do, and I do what I love!
