About me / About business or organisation:

Hello! I'm a passionate fashion worker born in Brasil and currently living in Auckland, New Zealand. "Fashion worker" because I love many aspects of fashion and for that reason I've explored professionally different areas of the industry. My most recent achievement is the launch of a swimwear label, which is handmade in my hometown in southern Brazil, where I locally source all the materials.

Career history / Company history:

Since university, I've developed many projects exploring ecodesign and better practices in fashion. One of them resulted, in 2011, in the first place in the fashion category of the Talentos Design Award, an international prize for sustainable design promoted by the Santander Foundation in Madrid, Spain. Lately I've dedicated my research in finding solutions to reduce the environmental impact of fashion production while developing social projects that help the local economy in my hometown.
