For the past six years, I've worked across London's events and creative scene, coordinating live events, exhibitions, and productions. I handle logistics, schedules, teams, and vendors. The operational side that makes ambitious ideas actually happen.

With a background in hospitality management, I know what it takes to run budgets, suppliers, stock, sales, and teams. I learned to think fast and keep things moving when it's busy, understaffed, and someone's just dropped a tray. That's where my operational instincts come from. I've since transferred those skills into events, production, and corporate projects. The core is the same: solve real problems, plan for the best execution, and make sure nothing falls apart.

I'm naturally curious and love working on ambitious projects. That curiosity helps me adapt quickly to new environments and industries. Probably because I've spent my life doing exactly that. Raised in Switzerland and Portugal, with Portuguese and Angolan heritage, I've lived in Germany and the UK too. Moving between cultures taught me how to read a room, work with different people, and figure things out fast.

I'm always building on my skills. I've trained in digital marketing and AI tools to streamline how I work, and I've explored fashion courses as a creative outlet. I like understanding how things work, whether that's a production schedule or a new industry.

If you're looking for end-to-end execution, I'm your person.
