CREATIVE STATEMENT
My interest in patterns began during my university studies in a Fashion Design degree. Over the years, my expertise in patterns has developed due to continuous learning and experimentation. What I love most about patterns is their ability to transform everyday objects and bring joy to our surroundings. To maintain my skillset, I experiment with different motifs and techniques and keep my mind open. Creating patterns can be both fun and challenging, and sometimes happy accidents lead to unexpected and delightful results.

Q&A
What industry do you most enjoy creating patterns for?
Home decor and clothing but I'm always eager to find new applications for patterns.
Where do you find inspiration?
Anywhere at any time. It can be flipping through my sketchbooks, scrolling on Pinterest, during the making of a project... I keep a list of ideas that come to mind.
What would be your dream pattern job?
IKEA, confectionery and chocolate packaging and public transportation upholstery. There are many colorful home textile and fashion companies from Brazil and Australia on my list.
