I'm a multidisciplinary designer from Aveiro, Portugal, with a Bachelor's degree in Design from the University of Aveiro. After an Erasmus period at the Köln International School of Design in Germany, I completed my degree and joined United By Design for an internship, where I later became part of the team. Beyond the studio, I take on part-time freelance work focused on 3D modelling, product-driven thinking, and visually refined solutions. My recent projects include the 'MIRROR ME' piece for Elastique, and I enjoy collaborating across disciplines to create tangible, well-crafted design outcomes.
