1993, Lisbon (PT)
I have a multi-disciplinary path, of various interests and in different areas, in the field of
Visual Arts and Design, Culture, Antiques and Sales.
I'm passionate about everyday objects, and how they work as systems of communication, occupying an important place in the construction of our lives. It is in this restlessness that I see beauty and challenge. Moved by this interest, I studied Product Design. Another great passion is ceramics, a privileged subject in my projects.
Hand's on person and designer!
