About me
Born in Portugal, I graduated in Fashion Design by the University of Lisbon.
In 2007 I was invited to teach Fashion Design in Beijing, China. While living there, I was greatly inspired by the impressive history and local culture. I also met my business partner and together we created a Women's wear label, Lianga. Back to Europe in 2009 we designed and produced several collections, which were sold online and in Concept stores in Lisbon and Porto.
In 2012, I went back to Asia in search of new challenges. I had the opportunity to share my experience as a Fashion Design and Pattern-Making Lecturer in International Schools in Shanghai and Kuala Lumpur. Teaching was a very rewarding and enriching experience and allowed me to connect with many wonderful and creative minds. While in Shanghai I also collaborated in the development of a high-end Women's wear collection, which allowed me to work directly with local Suppliers and Manufacturers.
Since my return to Europe in 2016, I collaborated with diverse Fashion companies and independent Designers and accompanied them along the whole process from creation to production, leading to successful distribution of their line into retail.
