Trained as an Industrial Designer (UCBerkeley and Escola Superior de Desenho Industrial, Rio de Janeiro), maintained a design consulting firm in Brazil for 10 years, engaged in projects ranging from book design to urban transport systems. Returned to the US in the mid-1980s to join Stanford’s Center for Design Research as an R&D Engineer. Participated in design projects in the fields of space medicine and assistive robotics, and provided systems and network administration for this pioneering center of design methodology research. From 1990 through 2003, extended this networking and system support to several research and administrative units in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Stanford University’s School of Engineering, and beginning in 1990 designed and deployed some of the earliest departmental and research unit web sites at Stanford.

With the Stanford Humanities Lab, advises and coordinates technology applications in humanities research projects and continues work in web-based information-sharing and collaborative workspaces. Offers broad expertise and deeply immersive experience in virtual worlds and related technologies for merged reality settings. Created the built environment in Second Life® for the Stanford Humanities Lab's presence in that online virtual world, consisting of multi-media project galleries, meeting spaces for cross-boundary real- and virtual-world collaborations, and social settings for community building and collaborative work.

Other virtual world constructs include full-scale 3-D design study models of the future home of Stanford's Design Institute, the Dante Hotel (after Segerman) in San Francisco, exhibit space for Lynn Hershman and the Stanford Humanities Lab's Life Squared project for the Daniel Langlois Foundation in the Montréal Museum of Fine Art, Lynn Hershman's No Body Special show at the de Young Museum in San Francisco, the Canadian Centre for Architecture Museum in Montréal, exhibition space at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the forthcoming Gallerie della Memoria teaching museum project in Trento, Italy.
