Vera is a Fulbright scholar and a second year at D-Crit, where she has just developed a masters thesis about the current incarnation of social design in the U.S.

Born in Lisbon, Portugal, Vera has a BA in Communication Design and studied Contemporary Culture and Post-Colonialism. While at it, she also got to teach young kids about design, went to Helsinki to study “Design Thinking,” studied in Rotterdam for six months in an exchange program, traveled throughout Europe and the US, and got her first insights on critical thinking.

She worked at award-winning design studio P-06 atelier, and after a couple of years experienced an epiphany while navigating the D-Crit website, unabashedly deciding on the spot what she would be doing next.

Vera has written about design and architecture for Change Observer, Arte Capital, and Proximo Futuro/Next Future, and co-edited “At Water’s Edge,” the first in the D-Crit chapbook series.

She has a limited attention span, will dance to funk and usually bakes for people she likes.
