If you’ve passed by the homepage, you know the drill:

I’m a Portuguese artist and designer, currently living in France (and working in English), who loves to jump between digital and traditional art, while mixing fashion history with pop culture, music, film and literature in art.

So far, it’s been a weird road, meandering between art and technology, from a first job as a museum assistant, to a short stint as an animator and comic book artist, everything seemed to be lining up to continue on working as an artist, until the diagnosis came: in 2019 my right wrist gave out from overwork, and even after several rounds of treatment, my stubbornness in continuing to work through the pain led to a case of chronic De Quervain’s tendinitis, and a hard crash back to a reality I felt wildly unprepared for.

Queue a lucky chance to go back to school and study design! Hurray, back on track for a creative life, right? Not quite. Money was short, the COVID pandemic hit like a tsunami, and in a fit of despair I applied to everything I could, ending up, unexpectedly, doing technical support for a Virtual and Augmented Reality project.


Yeah… I did not see that one coming either.

Since then, life has been a succession of even quicker changes. From a tech job to freelancing, from freelancing to a row of health issues that culminating in finding out, at the ripe young age of 30 that I had been living with undiagnosed ADHD my whole life (that diagnosis just explained, so, so much…). From that we arrive to the present moment, where I work as a graphic designer, video producer and instructional designer for a small, yet ambitious (you won’t believe it) tech company.
