Behavior Change & Healthcare Innovation

Working at the intersection of psychology, lifestyle medicine, and digital health to improve how care is delivered and experienced.

A multidisciplinary approach to modern healthcare.

I combine engineering, psychological medicine, and health communication to design better healthcare systems, experiences, and interventions.

My work focuses on bridging the gap between research, clinical practice, and real-world behavior change — helping healthcare become more human, more effective, and more sustainable.

About me

Originally from Brazil, I’ve lived in Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, and Southeast Asia. Before transitioning into healthcare, I worked as a scientist and engineer across universities, government institutes, startups, and consulting companies. Today, I lead Healthcare Craft and continue building projects at the intersection of behavior change and modern healthcare.

I’m a multidisciplinary professional based in Singapore with a passion for healthcare, science, technology, and human behavior. My work focuses on helping health professionals and patients better understand and manage complex chronic conditions through digital systems, coaching, evidence-based science, creativity, and compassion.

Outside of work, I love music (heavy metal included), traveling, animals (particularly my dog Mallow), and living a plant-based lifestyle. I’m a dedicated mom and wife, a gym enthusiast, and someone who is always picking up a new hobby — usually after reading a hundred books about it first. Oh, and I love changing my hair color to bright ones (currently blue!)
