For almost fifteen years I worked as a Marketing executive in large companies in Pernambuco. I studied Fashion Culture in São Paulo in 2006. And then, in 2007, I founded my company, ESPAÇO GARIMPO, which is a platform for Fashion and Design new talents.
Espaço Garimpo is focusing on creating opportunity for new fashion designers and creative entrepreneurs in Brazil, such as a collaborative network for fashion and design brands, education work focuses on creative economy and business for fashion students, managers and professionals through courses, lectures, workshops, debates, educational and cultural trips, business meetings and pop-up stores.
Since founding Espaço Garimpo in 2007, I have had more than 300 brands participating of the Garimpo´s pop ups and events.
In 2011 I was selected for a coaching and mentoring program called Creative Entrepreneurs in Sao Paulo, Brazil. And in 2012 I was the winner of the YECA Fashion in Brazil.
