About
I’m Carlos Cintra, an architect and interior designer based in Paraná, Brazil, with more than 20 years of experience across residential, commercial, retail, and institutional projects. I translate clients’ needs and everyday lifestyle into precise, buildable designs—balancing aesthetics, functionality, material choices, and user experience—then communicate everything clearly through AutoCAD documentation and photorealistic SketchUp visualizations.
For the past 16 years, I’ve led my own practice, coordinating projects, teams, suppliers, and on-site execution from concept and feasibility to final delivery. I also co-lead the studio with my wife, Vanessa Pedroso, and our combined expertise spans architecture, interiors, kitchens, and lighting design. In addition, I’ve spent years working on trade fair and exhibition stands (2,000+ projects), curating art exhibitions, hosting professional workshops, and supporting clients with lighting fixture specification and installation follow-up.
