About Me

I was born and raised in Brazil, left my motherland at 17, and established myself in The Netherlands. Instantly falling in love with Amsterdam, I completed my studies here to become a designer and goldsmith, and now work independently.
Influenced by my roots, I draw inspiration from a variety of interests, including symbolism, photography, music, the human body, ancient cultures, and mother nature. My designs are timeless, functional, and reflect my passion for everything I do.

My journey at the Vakschool Edelsmeden began with the challenge of learning Dutch, a step that marked the start of five enriching years of study. During this time, I had the privilege of exploring e.g. goldsmithing, gemology, art history, geometry, physics, chemistry, hand drawing, technical drawing, spacial design etc. Each subject deepened my appreciation for the blend of creativity and precision that defines jewelry-making, shaping how I approach it as both an art and a craft.

To continue improving, I dedicated an additional year to advanced technical training, focusing on refining the finer details of goldsmithing. These years were about much more than techniques—they taught me patience, discipline, and the value of thoughtful design. Every piece I create today carries the lessons and inspiration I gained from my time at the Vakschool Edelsmeden Schoonhoven.
