I'm a creative, spiritual, determined dreamer with a chaotic background and a deep passion for visual storytelling. My journey led me here in Lisbon, doing what I love, building a creative ecosystem and discovering where my career is taking me while exploring Portugal.
I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to live in different countries during my 24 years of life in this beautiful world, all thanks to my resilient and independent mother, who was seeking a better life for me and my brother than our situation in Brazil was.
Growing up in Mallorca with a multicultural group of friends was wonderful. Driven by my ambition to achieve financial independence, I started working any job I could find at 17 while living alone and studying. This forced me to become an adult early and boosted my determination to approach my career as an autodidact.
While working as a nanny in Luxembourg, I felt lost after two years of failing in my mission to find ways to make money online. However, things finally started to make sense after the madness of the pandemic. Enlightened by the vision of building a dropshipping brand, I delved into the world of digital marketing, entrepreneurship, and branding.
My energy was the only investment I could afford to build an e-commerce business. However, pursuing this path made me realize the need for social media marketing for this business model, leading to
my aha moment
Since then, I've dedicated myself to continuously learning the foundations I need to build and market my personal brand as a freelance social media specialist and content creator. I hustled and did what I had to do to arrive in Lisbon as a full-time freelancer,
but Lisbon had other plans for me.
My strategy to find momentum with my social media projects only led to frustration during that first year. Everything pointed to making better use of the second-hand camera I had invested in to elevate the quality of my clients' work. I felt drawn to the world of visual storytelling and was pleasantly surprised to discover that my artistic talents were always there, waiting to be nurtured.
creativa profile is a combination of everything I advocate for
I had to make sense of all the random ideas leading me toward my purpose and the value I could bring to the world. The startup communities I was surrounded by inspired me to take action and make this something bigger. One night, I felt called to get out of bed and create a visual mood board that represented the brand and business I would have felt connected with during that frustrating period of building the foundations for a sustainable freelance career.
My mission has always been the same
I want to continue supporting businesses with substance in sharing their message and grow this supportive creative ecosystem to reach and boost the careers of as many creatives as possible who are looking to write their own successful stories doing what they love—just as I am doing.
