Born and raised in Portugal, with a few unforgettable years in Brazil, I’m currently working at Visualforma as Communication and Events Manager, always exploring new ways to bring stories to life.
In 2019, I graduated from ETIC Algarve and stepped into the world of video production — a journey that began behind the camera as a 2nd AC, best girl, and camera operator. There, I learned the technical backbone of lighting and cinematography, but my heart was already leaning toward the artistic side: creating spaces and atmospheres through set design.
In 2021, I built my very first miniature set for a stop-motion project and, shortly after, crafted a model for the documentary Portuguese Space Odyssey. That moment became a turning point — production design wasn’t just a passion anymore, it was my path.
Since then, I’ve been sharpening my skills in Art Direction and Set Design, bringing concepts to life with New Light Pictures and collaborating on commercial projects for brands such as Marriott, Hyatt, Sotogrande, Quinta do Lago, and Spin.Works. At the same time, cinema remains my anchor — the place where art and storytelling meet most powerfully.
I’m currently expanding my creative horizons through a Postgraduate Degree in Art, Design, and Artificial Intelligence at IADE, and a one-year program in Product & UX Design with Parsons School of Design.
I’m always seeking to learn more, do better, and make the most of every single minute of what I do.
Drop me a message, and let’s bring ideas to life.
I’m always excited to connect with like-minded creatives, collaborators, and visionaries. Whether you have a project in mind, need creative direction, or simply want to say hello, I’d love to hear from you.
