As a designer, entrepreneur, author, and investor, my journey has been as diverse as it has been rewarding. Originally from Brazil, my early years were spent soaking in the rich cultural heritage of China. This international upbringing played a crucial role in shaping my worldview and professional path. For the past 7 and a half years, I've called the United States home, embracing the vibrant life Florida offers.
My professional journey in design spans over a decade, beginning with designing shoes for notable brands like Skechers and Under Armour. This experience laid a strong foundation for my career, but my passion for design didn't stop there. I later shifted my focus to graphic design, exploring new avenues and challenges in the creative field. Alongside design, I've also ventured into various investments, diversifying my professional portfolio.
Education has always been important to me, and I had the opportunity to attend Harvard Business School for a while. This experience not only enriched my knowledge but also broadened my perspective on business and entrepreneurship.
Today, I am proud to say that I work for myself. My career is not just limited to design; I own businesses and have developed multiple streams of income, reflecting my dynamic approach to life and work.
Being a mom of two is at the core of who I am. Balancing my professional life with my personal life is challenging, but it's also incredibly fulfilling. I relish the joys of motherhood and strive to be a role model for my children, showing them that with hard work and dedication, they can achieve anything they set their minds to.
Living in Florida, I've found a beautiful balance between my work and personal life. My journey, from Brazil to China and now the U.S., has been a tapestry of diverse experiences, each adding a unique thread to my story. I continue to seek new opportunities and challenges, constantly evolving both as a professional and as a person.
