about me
Thanks to my easy learning, adaptation to different enviroments and my hability of co-working I find myself able to develope any function I would be requested for. My initiative allows me to be confortable making desicions and adopting the leader role when it is necessary. I consider a team as one where there is dialogue in order to be successfull. The excellence of fabrics and ends have a big importance in my work, therfore I think tayloring and made to measure clothes would be most suitable jobs for me. Otherwise, my knowledge in chemistry allows me a good understanding of materials and tints from their molecular perspective.

THESIS 2011 Refinde cuts, construction details and bright colours are the main characteristics of this project. Fabrics come alive over the shapes of the woman’s body, maximizing its femininity through transparencies.
By the study of the woman anatomy you find the perfect proportions between shapes, volumes, lights and shadows. Seduction trough movements is the key of femininity. Fabrics are treated as a second skin that fits perfectly with this concept.
