I was continuously challenged with different projects that always demanded a lot of research and a huge capacity to adapt and find the best way to achieve a good product. From Product design to Scrum Master, I’ve had a great opportunity to work with different people, business goals and technologies. The most relevant projects I’ve worked in were Holiday Check Forum, where I worked as a Scrum master. From a business to business platform to a Cooking social network I’ve experienced all!

Experienced in all aspects of supply chain, from manufacturing to retail environment. Linking Fashion trends to speed to market needs, and sourcing or designing the product with the right price at the right time. Mainly focus on the US market and clients such as Amazon. Experience with following the product from raw material to final packaged, following all technical specifications, testing requirements and social/environmental compliance. Experience in working with distributed teams.

In this company creativity was the main focus. The best idea had to be materialized within the speed of light. Working mainly for retail stores and brands, I’ve designed campaigns, visual merchandising, store design, layouts and shop windows to best promote a product or promotion, and engaged the customer for the best retail experience. I’ve also worked in interior design for public places such as shops, stands, and private places or events.

Experience in designing innovative products that responded to the fast changing consumer landscape, retailers need and creative advice to stay ahead to the market. We help our teams to understand the current market environment, spot commercial opportunities and tackle difficult challenges. I have also created the “I Like Green team” that focused on respect the environment, creating rules for the Li&Fung offices daily routines, team process and production partners. All together to achieve a good product.

Experience in monitoring workshop about “Meeting points, a place for all virtual”, oriented by Jean-Phillipe Vassal. It was a full week workshop where we worked together with the teams to propose new solutions for city “non-places”. Seminar about “Interpreting and Illustrating sound in real time images mixing”. Experience in helping with the organisation and setup of the workshop about “Manifest Objects” a partnership between, University of Minho, University of Aveiro, ENSCI-Paris and ESAD-Porto.
