I am an architect with a degree from EAAD – School of Architecture, Art, and Design at the University of Minho, complemented by a one-year exchange at FAUUSP – Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism at the University of São Paulo, Brazil. After graduating in 2011, I immersed myself in collaborative construction workshops with Constructlab, contributing to projects such as Construir Junto for Guimarães 2012, European Capital of Culture, and Casa do Vapor in Almada.
In 2013, I co-founded Prosaico, a Porto-based collective dedicated to creating temporary structures and urban furniture, with a strong emphasis on material reuse and cost efficiency. Shortly after, I completed an internship at the And-Ré architecture studio, where I worked on national and international competitions between 2013 and 2014.
Since 2016, my work has shifted toward independent projects, focusing on transforming and revitalizing domestic spaces while designing and curating ephemeral installations. My collaboration with Space Transcribers in 2017 and 2018 enabled me to critically engage with contemporary urban and architectural themes.
From 2020 to early 2023, I served as Creative Director at Aquela Kombucha, where I developed its visual identity, communication strategy, content management, event designs, and collaborations.
More recently, in 2023 and 2024, I expanded my practice by designing objects and furniture, curating an art installation, creating scenography for Braga '25 Portuguese Capital of Culture, and producing the launch event for the Matterpieces brand.
Now based in Barcelona, I am seeking new opportunities in ephemeral architecture, scenography, exhibition design, set design, and experience production. My work thrives on blending these disciplines to craft engaging and impactful spaces.
