About Luciana
GIS Data Analyst and cartographer with 15+ years of experience turning spatial data into clear analysis and publication-quality maps. I've delivered geospatial work for urban, mobility, and public-transport projects across Brazil, working with consultancies, research institutes (FIPE, FGV), and public agencies, including a World Bank-funded land-use and transport model for São Paulo.
I specialize in spatial analysis, geoprocessing and cartographic design (QGIS, ArcGIS, Adobe Illustrator), with a focus on maps that are both analytically rigorous and beautiful. Currently a PhD researcher in urban planning (cotutelle between Mackenzie, Brazil, and Leibniz Universität Hannover, Germany).
Available for remote projects, comfortable across European and Brazilian time zones, in English and Portuguese.
