A profile between
science & storytelling.

I'm a life sciences professional with a background in Molecular and Cellular Biology (MSc, University of Aveiro) and Medicinal Biotechnology (BSc, ESS Porto). My work moves between science, regulatory, communication and brand, and this portfolio gathers the more creative side of that practice.

Most of my professional path has been built inside Portuguese deep tech biotech startups, PFx Biotech and Cell4Food, where I worked across scientific, regulatory and communication areas. From research and technical documentation to brand, content and institutional representation, I learned how science and storytelling can grow together inside early stage companies.

Outside that, I work on independent projects: Seablom, a premium marine wellness brand from the Açores I am currently collaborating with on visual identity and digital communication, and Próxima Festa, a past cultural platform that aggregated festivals and concerts across Portugal. And on the side, always, there's the camera.

I work where rigour meets aesthetic. Where data wants a face. Where a brand needs a voice.
