I'm Brazilian, but I live in Portugal since 2015. Like every Brazilian, I am also a mix, the 4 great-grandparents were from different origins, namely Germany, Italy, Spain and Brazil. Nowadays, I have dual nationality, Brazil / Portugal.

I like to meet people and places, travel, go to the beach, walk with my family, photograph, cooking, collect flowers, leaves and some shells and small stones. My favorite color is blue, but I like green too.. :) I have 2 daughters (13 and 11 years old), one cat (we love cats) and a crazy dog.

... I like to cut papers and paste them randomly and sometimes with some justification for themes or colors.

I love snail mail...

I like to swap papers and all that I use to make my collages.

I like all the possibilities of stationery stuffs/papers/labels/tea bags/stickers/washi tapes/etc ...

I like many different things!

**I am currently a PhD student in design. My research focuses in creating a semantic framework for understanding the concept of "innovation" within traditional cultures, specifically in contexts of artisanal production (linen/flax). If you want to see the video I produced - with the help of some volunteers - this is the AmaCasteloes link: https://youtu.be/-iLpb3G--jg

AmaCasteloes is a non-profit association that produces handmade linen in Portugal. There are few elderly women who have maintained this traditional Portuguese know-how for many years. They cry out for visibility and appreciation, with the purpose of continuing this tradition for the next generations.

I like many types of music in the world! My favorite type is MPB (Brazilian popular music), with singers like Caetano Veloso, Maria Betânia, Marisa Monte, Rita Lee, Jorge Bem, and Seu Jorge, among others. I like tango, Latin music, and jazz - a little.

I love reading! Currently, my entire concentration is on readings on my research topic. I like biographies.

I've seen a few movies... I like a few series: Fauda, ​​Stranger Things (I saw it with my daughters), Messiah, and a few others. I haven't had much time.

I love collage, I have an Instagram profile where I post what I do: @mydailyhobby 2020 I'm learning the linen cycle, where I already know how to weave on the loom!
