Sao Paulo, Brazil
I am a Brazilian-born craft practitioner who specialised in embroidery for my Bachelor’s at London College of Fashion.
My BA focused on textile design and development, which is a niche that has given me a unique vision to fashion design and textile crafts. The embroidery work I develop has a unique
approach to computer-led technology, meaning it is time and cost effective, while maintaining a profound respect for craft heritage and its aesthetic.
My experience includes fashion design for luxury and high street brands, as well as specialised textile commissions for international clients.

While assisting the head designer, I was involved in the development of collections for both brands, ÀLG (diffusion line) and À La Garçonne (main line), including collaborations with Hering, Ocean Pacific, Pakalolo, Olympikus, Hector Albertezzi and Melissa.
