Trained in Brazil through a five-year professional design program, Paulo spent his early career on how structures come together — where light lands, how people move through a space, what a wall is really doing. After he settled on the Monterey Peninsula, he turned that thinking inward, toward interiors, where it shows up in quieter ways and has built a 15 year career designing spaces: a floor plan that finally makes sense, a kitchen that works before it's beautiful, millwork drawn to the eighth of an inch. Today he takes on full-home renovations, single-room refreshes, and boutique commercial projects across the Peninsula — from the first sketch to the day the last piece is delivered and set in place.
