Sports and flair for reading and writing have accompanied her since a young age and around 14 she discovered drawing. She began to observe and document what she saw and got to know and the taste for traveling led her to truly unique sites. She has always had an affinity towards what’s around her, was the beach, the countryside, the mountain, the city… But it is to know the other and to be close to the ones she loves, what really makes her a happy joyful person!
She studies Product Design in the Faculty of Fine Arts of Lisbon and in academic context she has lived in Rome for a couple of months and has traveled to Barcelona, to Le Corbusier’s convent in Lyon (La Tourrette) and to Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay for the Ibero-American meeting of Lighting Design of 2019 .

She presents a big interest in deformation and deconstruction, an interest that she applies in every work. Searching and re-invention through technic and practice.
Deep down of every line of thought she speaks of the wounds of this world and how they remain open and fragile but at the same time take brutal consequences in our own social world, all the pressure we suffer with the excess of information, how impotent we see ourselves.
From herself ” I want to exalte that bridge between the physical and mental dimenson, but with no need to use words only production of images. That’s one of the main ways to ressonante between Man, Mind and Soul.”.
