Hello! I'm Nakai Margalho Borges, a visual designer and handloom weaver based in Coldrerio, Switzerland. I blend traditional textile craft with digital design to create compelling visuals and fabrics. My background includes collaborating on the Summer 2021 trend book for Chiron, exploring how color, texture, and form come together in textiles and visuals. I’m currently pursuing advanced studies in visual design while continuing to develop my craft. Passionate about problem solving, teamwork, and creativity, I enjoy bridging craft and technology, and I bring hands-on experience from weaving, photography, and design software. I'm excited to collaborate on projects that merge textile artistry with contemporary design.
