Ana Sofia Pachêco (Portugal, 1983) studied landscape architecture at the University of Porto (2001-2006). Between 2006-2013 she worked in studios in Portugal and in creative collectives with other architects. The consolidation of the experience encourages her in 2015 to co-found OH!

This approach to the design practice has been recognized in several international competitions including ‘Europan 9- Sustainable city and new public spaces’, Green Project Awards - Portugal 2016 / sustainable cities’, ‘Vibeiras Young Landscape Architect 2005, 2008 e 2013’.
