I am originally from Belo Horizonte the capital city of Minas Gerais, which is a beautiful region set in the mountains of southeast Brazil, known for its farms, gold mines, and precious stones. However, for the past twenty years I have made the Northern Beaches of Sydney my new home.

Growing up in Minas Gerais, I was consistently inspired by the culture and the renowned artisanal products created in the city. This was one of the major influences that sparked my passion for creating handcrafts, as well as my beautiful grandmother. I have such fond memories of her, the gentle sound of her sewing machine and being taught various skills such as how to crochet a string rug.

During my travels, I would always seek to find the most interesting local stores and places where I could meet and get to know fellow craftspeople. This has also significantly inspired me when using various colours and textures throughout all my pieces.
