Summary

Hi! I’m Luis. I have a deep passion for connecting China and Brazil, blending expertise in business and project management with innovative design solutions. Fluent in English, Portuguese, Italian, Spanish, and currently studying Mandarin Chinese, I bring strong communication skills, attention to detail, and cultural sensitivity to every project, fostering effective international collaboration. My international journey began during my studies in Italy, where I developed a deep appreciation for cross-cultural exchange and international cooperation. In Brazil, I co-founded an architecture studio, honing my skills in architectural design, interior design, project management and business development. This experience solidified my commitment to both design and execution. Driven by my love for languages and communication, I am dedicated to building bridges between diverse cultures and facilitating meaningful connections. I’ve been living in China for the past year, immersing myself in the language and culture, and earning a HSK 4 certificate. I am deeply invested in creating impactful, multilingual solutions for global challenges. Let’s connect and explore how we can work together to make a difference! wechat: ferlulucena
