✹ I am a Creative Director, born in 1994 in Coimbra, Portugal, and raised between Portugal and Brazil, a cultural connection that inspires my work. In 2013, I entered the University of Beira Interior, where I graduated in Multimedia Design. Later, I moved to Granada to study at the Facultad de Bellas Artes, and in 2016 I began my Master’s degree at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Lisbon, where I developed research in Social and Sustainable Design.

✹ In 2015, while still at university, I founded CUSCUZ.STUDIO, where I continue to work as Creative Director. The project is rooted in craftsmanship and sustainability, exploring handmade creations with reused natural materials. Over the years, it has developed international partnerships and has been showcased at both Paris Fashion Week and Madrid Fashion Week, as well as collaborating nationally with Portugal Fashion and Lisboa Fashion Week. 

✹ Since 2023, I’ve been working closely with pianist and composer Gisela Mabel, leading her creative direction while also supporting her management, communication strategy, and digital presence and designing the sets for her concerts.

✹ As a multidisciplinary creative, my work focuses primarily on the communication of brands and projects, always with the premise of making them more aware of their choices and messages. My portfolio spans creative and art direction, graphic design, as well as product and UX/UI design—fields I naturally gravitated towards due to my multidisciplinary education. During my university years, I developed a diverse skill set that allowed me to explore various aspects of design, from conceptual thinking and strategy to hands-on execution. This holistic approach has enabled me to adapt to different creative challenges and contribute effectively across multiple disciplines.
