About
Born in Brazil, grew up in Brazil. Lived in Germany for a year and fell in love with it. The language, the country, the people and specially the design. Somehow I've ended up here, in London!
I've worked with interior, product and furniture design through my degree in Industrial Design,. Then moved on to London to study at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design and did another Degree, this time in Ceramic Design. The deep knowledge in ceramics combined with my past experiences in product design has given me some valuable skills. Along with extensive material knowledge in different contexts, I also have the ability to adapt quickly in different fields.
Passionate about design, I want to dig deeper in this world. To discover the world and to be discovered. -
