Born and raised in Lisbon, I grew up with sunshine and endless days by the beach. At 20, I decided to "move abroad" which in my case meant crossing the border to Spain (a very bold international adventure, I know). Now based in Madrid, I’m studying a Master’s in Creativity and Innovation at Miami Ad School. I work as an Art Director exploring new ways to make ideas visually striking, memorable, and just a little unexpected.

Madrid, apart from the tapas and cañas, also made me rediscover my passion for creativity something that has already led me to win a D&AD award and earn a shortlist at El Sol. Not bad for someone who only moved “abroad” next door.
