About

I’m Eliza Bertholdo, a Senior Architect and Interior Designer with 15+ years of experience delivering commercial, corporate, and healthcare projects internationally. I work in a BIM-first way across the full RIBA design process (Stages 2, 3 & 4), from client-facing design reviews and coordination with MEP consultants to building detailed technical documentation in Revit.

I also run my own architecture and interior design practice in Brazil, handling projects end-to-end—from initial brief and concept through to construction documentation, site coordination, and handover. I’ve led and supported workplace and healthcare interiors across markets such as the UK, the US, Saudi Arabia, and beyond, and I’m currently open to remote collaboration with UK-based and international practices as well as opportunities with studios across the US.
