BUSY BUILDING BRANDS AND BRINGING BAD VIBES ONLY.
STORYTIME
Born and raised in Lisbon, I began my career crafting visual identities and editorial projects for museums and many of Portugal's leading cultural institutions. My first-ever job at Silvadesigners was designing the Portuguese architecture pavilion for the Venice Biennale—an opportunity that still feels surreal in hindsight. Music, my second greatest passion, shaped my design voice early on. Collaborating with Portuguese music labels like XXIII and Discotexas allowed me to blend my love for music and art into cohesive, impactful works. In 2018, I took the leap into full-time freelancing, a decision that led me to New York, where I crossed paths with Axel Peemoeller, founder of New Studio. We had the creative click of our lives and since then, we’ve been running New Studio together, fearlessly pushing design boundaries and cultivating a work culture grounded in creative freedom, exploration, and personal growth.
