São Paulo has many rhythms: busy avenues, street art, food markets, historic buildings, and green spaces tucked between the concrete.

I built SP Layers — São Paulo in Layers as an interactive way to explore those different sides of the city.

Created for the Cloudinary November Mini-Hack: Celebrate Where You're From , the project combines photo stories, small discoveries, and personalized postcards.

Exploring the city through its layers

The experience brings together 20 photo stories across four categories:

Flavors: food and the encounters around it.

Street Art: color and expression in public spaces.

Breathing Spaces: places to slow down.

City & Memory: architecture and urban history.

Visitors can open stories, choose three places, reorder their selection, and open an outing in Google Maps for walking, driving, or cycling.

The app supports Brazilian Portuguese, English, and Spanish , along with light and dark themes.
