I’m a Portuguese creative director, designer and artist.
My career began in New York working for a year under the mentorship of Stefan Sagmeister. Since 2011 I’ve established my practice in Berlin. I’ve also lived for 3 years in Amsterdam.
For more than a decade, I’ve worked and collaborated with a wide range of clients, from advertising agencies, publishers, as well as smaller scale brands, family-run businesses, non profit organisations, schools & art institutions. I especially enjoy supporting people who are as passionate about their businesses as I am about mine.
I give lectures and teach workshops. While in Amsterdam I hosted the event Ladies Wine & Design (Founded by NY designer rockstar Jessica Walsh of &Walsh). We worked towards building a kind, and supportive community of female creatives.
In 2019 I co-founded Studio Nozes, a creative playground and publishing house with my husband, the photographer and Musician Marcus Noessing.
I’m eager to connect with businesses and teams seeking creative guidance and expertise. I bring a blend of creative mastery and genuine excitement to every project.
Let’s collaborate and create something extraordinary.
