LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT AND MANAGING PARTNER

Given de scarcity of employment in the field of landscape architecture and construction in general in Portugal, I found the opportunity to start work on my own. Since 2004 I have been working as an independent landscape architect and in 2007 I opened my own company. The experience has been very rewarding. Often I assumed the role of coordinator of the projects and other times the role of expertise. In this years of practice, rising about 15 regular clients and others that are potential clients.
