Based in London, originally from Portugal. 

My background is in Fashion Design, and I completed a Master’s degree in Fashion Studies at the University of Architecture and Design in Lisbon. 

 

Over time, I have shifted my focus towards soft materials and now work primarily as a freelance material researcher and developer, creative pattern cutter, tailor, maker, and artisan. My multidisciplinary approach to textiles allows me to engage with various fields, including art, interior design, fashion, theatre, film, music, and commercial/editorial projects. 

 

My clients include Heirloom Experience, Studio Toogood, A Cold Wall (Fashion), SR_A, Atelier LK, and Studio Toogood (Art & Interior). Additionally, I have had the privilege of working on art projects for esteemed institutions such as White Cube (SR_A), Tate Modern (Turbine Hall Commission x Cecilia Vicuna 2022), Barbican (Unravel x Cecilia Vicuna), MOMA Warsaw (Quipu Menstrual x Cecilia Vicuna).

 

Through my experience, I have developed a systematic approach for each project I take on. This involves outlining steps and stages, from interpreting an idea or vision to providing material solutions. This method ensures that each project is executed professionally and reliably. 

I am passionate about exploring and understanding textiles’ diverse behaviors, scales, possibilities, and limitations. I genuinely enjoy what I do and embrace new challenges.
