I hold a degree in Fashion Design and Marketing and a Master’s in Fashion Communication Design from the University of Minho. I began my career as a graphic designer in the fashion industry, where I had the opportunity to develop pieces for Inditex (Zara Kids). Although this was a challenging and enriching experience, it was through collaborating with small brands that I realized this was the area where I truly felt fulfilled.
