About me
Portuguese full-time student currently living in London, while studying at London College of Fashion, taking a BA in Fashion Styling and Production. Previously, I was living in my home-country where I got my high-school diploma in Fashion Design with skills in pattern making and sewing. In Lisbon, I was also fortunate to partake in a couple of competitions, including the 2019 Hecho-En-Europa contest, where the project I developed was one of three competitors to represent Portugal at the final stage of the contest in Madrid, alongside other European countries. I was also chosen out of several students from the main fashion schools in Portugal to participate in the 2019 Bloom Contest, whose first prizes were the presentation of a collection of our own during fashion week. Before I enrolled at London College of Fashion I also took part of the Erasmus program, where I was accepted to intern in the Italian accessories production company Rosamunda in the city of Rimini.
I've had a passion for fashion since I can remember. And over the course of the last 5 years, by having the opportunity to study the area and engaging with the industry, that deep interest has been fueled.
To let you know a bit more about myself, I’m job orientated, extremely committed and I find ease in group-tasks. I might say that I’m also ambitious and I have willingness to learn, discover and improve all my knowledge and explore all the opportunities and possibilities that are put on my way.
