02 / 01 / 1996
Born and raised on the Portugal Coast, I often draw inspiration from my roots to incorporate authenticity and simplicity into my projects — two defining characteristics of the region. From an early age, I discovered a passion for the Arts, which led me to pursue an academic path focused on design, deepening my knowledge in a field that has always felt like home.
Throughout my journey, I have developed essential skills such as self-reflection and critical thinking, which, combined with my natural creativity, constant ambition, and keen attention to detail, define my approach to design. These qualities not only shape my identity as a designer but also reinforce my commitment to creating innovative and impactful solutions.

Research into Vespa's history informed a lightweight, sophisticated appliance with a seamless handle and brand-associated colour options.
A complete bathroom system designed for children aged 3–6 in kindergartens. Following interviews with professionals, ergonomic limitations in existing sanitary equipment were identified and resolved through sinks and toilets at varying heights, a water-reuse flush system, and a cloud-shaped sensor-activated hand-washing unit. Includes a full service design and customisable product website.
Master's thesis project building on Sani Kido's — a water-reuse device for children's spaces that filters and stores sink water for flushing, cleaning, or irrigation. The product stores up to 39 litres and features a transparent reservoir with a floating ball water-level indicator, promoting sustainability awareness through an interactive, educational experience.
I'm always open to new opportunities, collaborations, and interesting projects.
