Timeless Watches

Portugal is a small country and some people are still very judgmental. I think that mentalities have been changing slowly in the past few years since the tourism boom. But there are still a lot of people that question the quality of what is designed here, in this tiny piece of land facing the Atlantic Ocean. Since I was born I've always heard that foreign things were so much better than what we were doing in music, fashion, architecture, food, ...When I accepted to design a collection of classical/minimalistic watches here, in my own city, I was so glad to feel part of the change! To prove that we can do it as well! I have to thank my bosses for giving me the freedom and for being so cool about everything from the first moment until the last! Now I feel I've done my job and this project can move on without me. I'll always remember it because I've learned so much, not only about the process of designing accessories as complex as watches but also because I was able to do it in a super cool and fresh environment!Photos credits are mine for Timeless Watches and bloggers Joana Vaz and Double Trouble Blog.

Oporto City Hostel

This is Oporto City Hostel. All the interiors have been restored and I was able to create this project with a super low budget. I'm still working on it, which is super cool, as it's a never ending process, and as I can add new details in a monthly basis. =) After this photoshoot a lot has been updated, so stay tuned to see new stuff happening. Btw, have you noticed the super cheap IKEA Hyllis Shelf (9,99€) painted in gold, as well as the shelf brackets on the last photo?

Sahoco

Some prints and clothing I developed for the portuguese brand Sahoco (from December 2013 until July 2015). At this job I was always in touch with the pattern makers, so every print was not only costume designed but was adaptable and made to fit the patterns measures and sizes.

Jibóia Capsule Collection

It was the Summer of 2013. I just had got back from Antwerp and I was doing my thesis for my Master's Degree when me and my friend Andreia had the idea to make a capsule collection. This is the result of a crazy Summer. I'm still very proud of what we accomplished with spare resources and so little time. This journey ended when I was hired by Sahoco, in November of the same year.

Fashion Five

Fashion five is a show that happens every year. It's aim is to show the work of 5 of the best students' works from 5 universities in Portugal. This year it happened in Guimarães, Europe's Culture Capital.

Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most

This is one of my projects from my MA in fashion, from 2013. Inspirational images are always my starting point, and I love making moodboards.

Oh, cruel fate

This is my last collection from my graduate's degree. It's my best work yet and I loved the process. I have to thank my teacher and my friends for pushing me, hope you like it.
