I grew up in Lisbon and my academic journey began with a BA in Design at IADE, Lisbon. I went on to work in advertising agencies in Portugal, all the while expanding my illustration portfolio with personal work. In 2016, I moved to New York, where I felt immediately at home. My passion for books and the process behind them led to an extremely enriching internship at Printed Matter – an exciting period marked by the discovery of the work of many artists and independent publishing houses. Propelled by this experience, I self-published a risograph zine. In 2019, I moved to London to pursue a Master’s in Illustration at Camberwell College of Arts. Shortly after graduating I self-published a graphic novel and started working as Art Editor for Guernica Magazine, an online publication dedicated to global arts and politics, from whom I had received an Art Fellowship during my studies.
