​In 2012 I graduated from the University of Oporto with a Master degree of Architecture. After graduation, I moved to Chongqing, China to develop a village very close to Vietnam. I spent that time solo backpacking throughout China. Following that, I moved to Kazakhstan for another year, working for the Expo 2017 on the architecture and design fields.

 

After heading back to Portugal in 2018, I road tripped from Portugal to Spain searching for waves and began to work as an Illustrator and Graphic Designer for Retro Movement Surfboards, while continuing to make some architecture projects. I attended to some workshops about screen printing and some other old arts of printing which gave me extra skills in the graphic arts field.

​

I now work with both print and digital design such as illustrations at Siestas n' Olas, logos, branding, marketing materials, and web design. I find a lot of joy in being outdoors, adventuring, creating, and exploring whenever I can, which shows through in my work.
