Fashion Design Bachelor’s – Santa Marcelina College

1995 – 1998

I started my journey into the design field in 1995, when I was accepted into the Fashion Design Bachelor’s program. During four years, I developed many projects that mixed different skills and competencies: multidisciplinary projects that combined design, drawing, sketching, photography, printmaking techniques, and project management.

Project management? Yes! During this academic period, besides all the technical competencies I’ve learned, I developed a sharp skill – and passion – for projects and project development, which I bring with me along my journey.

Conceptualise, ideate, create, explore, research, investigate, decide, select, leave behind, define, test, prototype, and experiment. I didn’t learn UX at college (it wasn’t a thing then), but I learned a process and a mindset for life.
