Hello, and Welcome to my Portfolio.
My journey in design started in Brazil with a Bachelor's in Product Design. A few years later fashion became a passion, so I expanded my experience in design and deepened my knowledge with a series of specialisations in Fashion Design. Soon after I started my professional career with my own clothing brand named SSA. After developing professionally through the challenges of running my own business in the fashion industry, I started my own Graphic Design studio where I spent eight years working with focus on branding development for small and medium size companies. Self-employed, fully immersed in creating and implementing design solutions. I helped business in a variety of segments in Brazil and Costa Rica with Visual Identity, Web Design, Social Media Management and Content Creation.
Coming from a family background of creative minds, design has always been present in my life. After navigating through different areas of Design and driven by my inventive soul and the desire of improving people’s life I decided to step up into a new career. I believe architecture can profoundly change lives through functional and creative solutions.
