for three years, I ran my own handmade earrings brand, @de.pendurar, where I had my first real experience with design, communication, strategy, and financial responsibility I’ve taught collage workshops for schools, university classes, and private events as a way of sharing creativity and making art more accessible I’ve also wheat-pasted posters around the city as a personal exploration of poster design and street art these experiences — and many others along the way — have shaped my creative mindset and helped me become the designer I am today: curious, hands-on, and always ready to experiment.
