Creative Expertise

Based in Lisbon, I offer creative direction, design, and product development to luxury and design-led brands that want to produce in Portugal and Southern Europe. With 14 years of direct field experience working with Portuguese craftsmanship and manufacturers — across glassblowing, ceramics, furniture, stone, cork and textiles — I know who can make what, at what scale, and to what standard. I manage the full process from concept to production.

Last May, during Lisbon Design Week 2026, I had the pleasure of showcasing my ongoing glass collection and research 'Colour Conversations' for the first time, at the beautiful space, textile studio and shop – Bryon Studios in Santos, Lisbon.
The latest pieces of this glass editions, including a new table lamp, large bowls and vases, were launched alongside the new textile collections of Chloé Skinner, artist and founder of Bryon Studios.
It was an intense and enriching week celebrating contemporary design and craftsmanship. A special thanks to Michele Fajtmann and her team from Lisbon Design Week.
