Design, Concept & Social Engagement
Versatility is my creative strength
ABOUT
With a background in industrial design and concept development (BA & MA) and a specialization in cultural management, I combine design expertise with strategic thinking and social engagement.
I work across interdisciplinary projects that use design as a tool for communication and transformation.
Recent work includes project management, curation, and graphic design for Lisbon Design Week 2026, the visual identity for ARCO Lisboa’s LDW Lounge, and exhibition design for Teresa Nunes at Roca Gallery Lisboa. I also rebranded MaFAT and continue to develop illustration and environmental storytelling projects.
