I was born in Madeira island and I began my engagement with artistic studies in highschool. My academic training started at the University of Madeira with a brief passage at the University of Vigo, during ERASMUS, and later settling in Barcelona to continue my studies. After completing my education, gaining professional experience, and developing various projects, I am now currently based in Amposta, Delte de l’Ebre, Catalonia. Alongside my work as a sound artist and researcher, I am a creative professional with a strong focus on art direction, capable of guiding projects from concept to execution with a coherent vision.
