    My business

    Having started at an early age, performing administrative duties during school holidays for the family firm, an innovative knit company in Brazil called Matric, I obtained wide-ranging knowledge of the various aspects of the textile industry, from manufacturing technology to design and merchandising.

    After earning my degree in Industrial Design from PUC, the foremost private university in Rio de Janeiro, I received a research grant from the Brazilian National Council for Scientific and Technological Development. While working there as an intern, I developed the first website for Warner Music do Brasil. In addition, while in university, I also provided electronic media design consulting services for the municipal government’s film production and distribution agency - RioFilme.

    Music being one of my passions, I founded the female rock band Staples in 1998, for which I have composed several songs. Through the band's website, I began selling its CDs and merchandise. After noting an increasing demand from other bands for the same type of service, I founded, in 2002, PunkShop, currently the largest virtual store of its kind in South America, with over 100,000 customers.

    The success of Punkshop has led to other business opportunities that range from the development of merchandise for some of the biggest pop and music icons, e-commerce consultation services, website production, collaboration in producing shows, fashion and design, just to name a few. Now I am located in Vancouver, BC - Canada and my goal is to continue building on my experience and success as a consultant in the aforementioned areas.
