My journey Sustainable Development Art
I am an Intellectual Property and Innovation Legal Counsel with experience across law firms, startups and multinational companies, working in demanding and multidisciplinary environments at the intersection of law, innovation and strategy.
Over the years, my role has naturally expanded beyond legal advisory to include project coordination, stakeholder management and strategic structuring, particularly in contexts involving digital transformation, responsible innovation and sustainability.
Today, I am seeking to transition towards a project-focused role, where my legal background becomes a lever to support and drive impact-driven initiatives, especially those related to ecological transition, responsible practices and the protection of living systems.
Rigor, cooperation and commitment guide my professional journey.

Art has long been a core element of my professional identity. My practice evolved from drawing and painting to digital creation and photography, with a strong focus on visual composition and storytelling.
My work explores the relationship between nature, form and emotion, often addressing environmental themes and questions of fragility and balance. Music is also part of my creative approach: as a DJ and harmonica player, I use sound as a medium to convey meaning and awareness.
I see art as a tool for reflection and engagement, complementing my broader interest in innovation, responsibility and impact.

My commitment to the environment began a few years ago when I volunteered with Greenpeace for a year while continuing my studies. During that time, I also took part in various social sustainability initiatives, such as organizing gratiferias (free markets), which reinforced my belief in collective and responsible consumption.
On a daily basis, I strive to adopt an environmentally conscious lifestyle.
In my previous company, I initiated and co-wrote a manifesto that connected Intellectual Property and Sustainable Development. I also helped develop a policy designed to promote sustainability within the IP field, addressing both the benefits and the potential risks linked to responsible innovation.
I am currently working in a B Corp–certified law firm, where I continue to advocate for ethical practices and sustainable approaches in our professional activities. My goal is to contribute to a work environment that is both environmentally and socially responsible.
My interest in sustainable development is not just a personal conviction; it shapes my daily life and professional mindset. I firmly believe that innovation and sustainability can move forward together, and I am committed to actively contributing to a more respectful and equitable future for our planet.
