Career history / Company history:

I'm a Portuguese girl with the heart in the world, head in the clouds and feet's in the ocean. In love with people and nature and with a special curiosity towards Asian culture and it's tales. Nostalgic by culture and creative by nature. I'm extremely curious and I'm always eager to try new and different things.
I've study Fashion Design in the Technical University of Lisbon, Faculty of Architecture and made my training in Madrid in “La Casita de Wendy” two young Spanish fashion designers with a magical aesthetic similar to mine. After that I started working as a Graphic Designer at Blanco a young and funky style Spanish brand. After two years at Blanco I've went to Galicia a beautiful and magical place in the North of Spain surrounded by sea and nature were I’m working for three and a half years as an Accessories and Print Designer for TRF, Zara young line. Zara is one of the biggest fashion retail companies and during these years I had the amazing opportunity to travel and get to know better the Asian culture that I love so much and that influence my work.
