About

I’m a Portuguese fashion design and production graduate based in Parede (Lisbon), driven by garment craftsmanship, creative styling, and trend research. My training combines practical atelier work—like sewing, pattern adjustments, interfacing, and finishing details—with hands-on fashion development from concept to final construction.

Beyond fashion, I’ve built experience through internships in designer ateliers and fashion departments (including magazine and editorial production support), plus cultural and community involvement through youth and parish initiatives. I enjoy translating ideas into tangible pieces, collaborating with others on creative projects, and bringing structure, care, and attention to detail to every garment I help create.
