Designer,
Entrepreneur.
Exploring sustainability, social impact and innovation rooted in local communities and places.
What I do
Create.
Communicate.
As an entrepreneur, I identify opportunities and turn ideas into tangible initiatives. My foundation in design taught me to observe, conceptualise, communicate and solve problems — skills I have applied to new fields and contexts throughout my journey:
Design
Ideas brought to life through communication and digital experiences.
Accommodation
A place to stay and experience local life in inland Portugal.
Restoration
Homes given new life, green spaces protected.
Products
A small shop offering handmade pottery and a selection of local products.

Creating alternatives, exploring new paths and improving what I can.
Hi, I’m Joana.
I’m an entrepreneur, designer and explorer of projects where sustainability, social impact, place, innovation and hands-on work come together to create positive change.
Let’s talk!
I’m open to new projects, collaborations, partnerships and career opportunities, especially where there’s room to create, learn and build something that makes a difference.
