Recent Work History
Stela is an architectural designer and construction professional with over ten years of experience across Brazil and the United States. While her background is strongly rooted in construction and project coordination, she is also actively involved in the design process, developing solutions that are both creative and buildable.
Her experience includes large-scale developments such as resorts and mixed-use projects, as well as residential design and construction in the New England region. She works closely with clients, designers, and field teams, bridging the gap between concept and execution with a focus on clarity, efficiency, and practical results.
Favorite Aspect of Being a Designer
She is deeply driven by the connection between theory and real life. For her, design and construction are inseparable, one cannot exist meaningfully without the other. Her approach is grounded, functional, and focused on delivering solutions that truly work.
Outside of Work
Originally from Brazil and now based in the United States, Stela enjoys playing volleyball, reading, and spending time in nature.
