After deciding to transition away from the Communication Industry, particularly my work in PR agencies, to pursue my path as a Designer and Artist, I received an invitation that drew me back into the communication and marketing. LAPAS, my favorite publishing house, offered me the position of Head of Communication and Marketing.

Despite my intention to depart from the industry, I couldn't resist the opportunity to collaborate with authors whose work I had followed since my teenage years, especially given the alignment with my passions for architecture, design, and humanities. Thus, I accepted the role. My time at LAPAS was incredibly enriching, both in terms of the individuals I met and the ideas we explored and brought to fruition. However, it was also a period of challenges, as I joined the team just before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, which significantly impacted all publishers, particularly niche ones like us in a such small market. Nevertheless, we persevered, focusing on initiatives such as rebuilding our website, which I am still proud of, and organizing engaging offline events that later transitioned to the online ones.
While I thoroughly enjoyed my work in the cultural sector and the opportunity to immerse myself in the publishing world, working with science and literature, I eventually made the decision to depart from LAPAS and the industry as a whole, in order to pursue my lifelong dream of delving deeper into design and art. This marked a shift from verbal communication to visual one.

From this period, I gained an even greater passion for architecture-related themes, a fresh perspective on the publishing world and cultural curation, and, most importantly, forged many inspiring relationships that continue to evolve and flourish.
