About

I’m a fashion design graduate based in Porto, Portugal, with a creative and detail-oriented approach to building a collection from concept to final execution. I enjoy working across the entire product development process—research, visual and conceptual development, garment development, fittings, styling, and storytelling—while always keeping quality, functionality, and strong visual communication at the center.

I’m especially interested in how visual identity is shaped through graphic elements, materials, and imagery. I collaborate well in multicultural teams, communicate clearly with people from different backgrounds, and like turning ideas into cohesive fashion narratives—supported by hands-on experience presenting collections and developing editorial and graphic concepts through my Erasmus projects and fashion showcases.
