IDENTITY

IDENTITY is a multidisciplinary project that brings together emerging talents from visual arts, fashion, performance, and music under a unified monthly theme. Set in a flexible warehouse space with modular walls that double as installations, it fosters immersive experiences and cross-disciplinary collaboration. Each month features 3–4 artists, with Friday performances and exhibitions open through the following Wednesday. Occasional guest performances by established artists add cultural depth. A retail area offers exclusive designer pieces, supporting both creators and the project.

Tradições

TRADIÇÕES is a cultural project and lifestyle brand dedicated to preserving and reimagining Portuguese heritage for the modern world. Rooted in the country’s rich traditions—from handwoven textiles and religious pilgrimages to festivals, tiles, embroidery, and filigree—it celebrates the artistry and identity passed down through generations.

By reviving traditional fabrics and motifs and integrating them into contemporary fashion and design, TRADIÇÕES bridges the past with the present. Each piece tells a story of craftsmanship, community, and cultural pride, offering a fresh way to experience Portugal’s timeless traditions.

Sombra

Sombra is a fashion brand rooted in mysticism, vampirism, and Gothic elegance. Blending minimalist silhouettes with architectural references like pointed arches, quatrefoils, and stained-glass color palettes, the brand creates pieces that feel both ancient and modern. Designed for bold, introspective consumers, Sombra uses rich dark tones, symbolic details, modular elements, and subtle storytelling to evoke a quiet sense of mystery. Each collection is crafted sustainably in limited batches, emphasizing versatility, emotion, and the allure of the unknown.

CVC

CVC is a curatorial collective founded at the Manchester School of Art in 2026.

As a founding member, I was not only involved in organising and creating our first exhibition in collaboration with Video City, but I also designed all the branding and the website for the collective.

Here is the brand book I created 

Meu Sopro

*Meu Sopro* is my final project for my MA in Contemporary Curating, developed as my final thesis.
This project involves organising an exhibition inspired by Tiago Rodrigues’s play *Sopro*, exploring hierarchies of visibility, women’s labour and memory.
