I am currently living and working in London. Originally from Portugal.

​

With a background in Fashion Design, I completed an MA in Fashion Studies at the University of Architecture and Design, Lisbon, in 2010.

I have progressively transitioned into a practice focusing on soft materials—working predominantly as a freelance pattern cutter, maker and artisan with a multidisciplinary approach to textile - within the fields of art, interior and fashion. I have been working on an ongoing basis with companies such as Toogood, A Cold Wall and SR_A. 

I have worked with different artists supporting with R&D, sourcing, as well as a maker/artisan.

​

Adapting to each commission is key, where I utilise transferable skills bridging in with personal practice - focused on pictorial representation in soft material/ fabric and producing sound through weaving.

​

These work experiences have allowed me to develop a systematic approach to each project. It’s essential to outline a timeline of steps and the different stages: from interpreting an idea/vision to supporting & providing materialisation solutions. As I genuinely enjoy what I do and welcome a good challenge.
