Actually living and working in Porto.
Fashion designer, art director and undergraduate architecture student.
Owner of a watchful and curious look, I have interest in experimentation of diverse techniques and combination of unusual materials. Crafts are one of my passions and I find numerous possibilities of transforming discarded objects in a fasionable and sustainable way. My interests go from fine arts to architecture and cinema. In my free time I enjoy cycling observing the city, and cooking - as I nurture a passion for pasta and meetings around the kitchen table.
Mariana Malhão is currently working as a freelance designer and illustrator based in Porto. At first glance her work seems to be meant for children but if you look twice you may find some hidden messages.
My name is Catarina.
I like plants, but I do not know much about any of them. Currently working on a self initiated project to discover some more about those wonderful beings. I love vegetables and eggs are my favourite food of all the time. I always drink orange juice in the morning. Ice cream is amazing, and I ́ve recently discovered avocato. I ́m entering a whole new level on food experience.
I made myself a club (“ColorClub”), and I ́m a dedicated member, almost as the peopleof Scientology. In other subjects, I love my work. I’m interested in graphic design, visual culture, education and values, as well as analog photography.
My self-iniciated projects always appeal to some kind of social issue that bothers me. When I feel the need to share and complain about something, I usually do so by travelling to a new country, making a serie of photographs and then creating a whole project around it. Some examples of those are “There are people who have a group, and there are others who do not.” and “Complete Love”.
I forgot to mention that I am completely crazy about traveling.
Thank you for getting to know me a little.
