About me

I was born in a family with a strong background in Arts and Fashion. I grew up having influences from my father who worked as an Interior Designer and used to run a children's wear manufacture. Also I got influenced by my grandmother who moved from Italy to Brazil and established a well-known tailoring and evening wear studio in my hometown for many years. I started my journey in 2003 attending a fashion school in São Paulo, Brazil. Whilst studying I gained experience working as a designer for reputable South American companies and this period was essential to enhanced my passion for design. After this time, I decided to move abroad to pursue my dream of having an international education and develop myself further as a professional. For this reason I came to the UK in 2011 and started the Womenswear Fashion Design Bachelor degree at London College of Fashion. Whilst studying in the UK I’ve embraced the most of the work opportunities within the industry and this gave me a deeper understanding and expertise of the market across Womenswear, Menswear and Accessories Design. I am very driven by challenges and after all these years learning and working I believe I have developed a unique design handwriting alongside the essential technical skills.
