About me / About business or organisation:

I am 28 years old, brazilian, studing in a master program for the Sustainability in Fashion at ESMOD - Berlin. I am writing my thesis about social brand and creating a sustainable approach in a cradle-to-cradle philosophy: closed loop and biological cycle. I am doing a case study of the brand ABURY in Morocco, the intention is to find out about their production system and materials, and write a guide line for them to become a social and sustainable brand, using only local materials and cheriching tratitional artisans handcraft.

Career history / Company history:

I am graduated in fashion design in Brasil, in this time I had my own accessories label and worked with costume design. After graduating I worked as a freelancer and also thought in a fashion institute in Lima, Peru. Once I returned to Brasil, I worked as product manager in a kniting manufacture in Sao Paulo, that was when I decided to get my master degree in sustainability and fashion in Berlin.
