__who I am__ 

I dedicate myself to interiors and furniture, spaces and objects, from consulting to project development. My portfolio includes residential and commercial spaces, renovation or rehabilitation works.

I live and work in Lisbon but I do projects for anywhere. 

I graduated in Equipment Design at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Lisbon and did a Master in Interior Design at the Instituto Europeo di Design in Barcelona, city where I lived and worked for four years. In my professional career I collaborated with some architecture and design studios, such as GCA Arquitectes, where I developed hotel, retail and housing projects. 

Since 2012 I have been developing projects on my own, as versatile as a café in downtown Lisbon, a 50 m2 apartment for an urban family, or a loft for a Mexican artist.

Helping my clients to improve their quality of life, be it the well being in their home or to enhance their business through my work, creativity, ideas, ..., has been very rewarding and exciting. And when you combine the development of the project with an empathetic relationship with the client, it can only work (very) well! I have had good examples of this and as a result good personalized and detailed projects.


__what I do__

Interior architecture and furniture projects.

After knowing the client's needs, I start to elaborate a creative and functional proposal for each specific project. 

It goes through several phases, depending on the complexity of each project. They are: survey of measurements on site, photographs of the current state, collection of reference images, sketches, plans and elevations, visualizations in perspective, collection and presentation of samples of materials, colors, fabrics so that the project is as clear as possible for the client. After the acceptance of the design proposal I move on to the phase of requesting quotes and execution, always following all the stages with the suppliers until the assembly and/or work.

I already have several projects executed, of interior architecture and custom furniture design, from public spaces such as stores, cafes and restaurants and private spaces, apartments and villas. 


__architecture and interior design projects__

  • Definition of layout integrated in the architecture (reorganization of the spaces to be intervened)
  • Choice of materials and finishes, textiles, lighting, purchase furniture and decoration
  • Design of custom furniture and follow-up of its execution and assembly
  • Contact with suppliers and request and comparison of quotes
  • Construction supervision


__interior consulting__

  • Used to finalize or improve with creative inputs and adapted to specific spaces
  • Elaboration of concept boards
  • Choice of tones and colors, materials, textiles, lighting, furniture and decoration
  • Supply and assembly of furniture and decoration
  • Construction supervision

Correu muito bem o projeto que pedi à Rita. Muito criativa, superou as minhas espectativas. Percebeu desde logo o que eu queria para a remodelação da minha sala e aceitou as minhas sugestões mas claro adaptando à melhor solução para o meu espaço e para a área que tinha. Recomendo mesmo!
