Fundadora

Born in Lisbon, rooted in the Alentejo.

I grew up between the rhythm of Lisbon and endless summers in the Alentejo. It was the Alentejo that taught me that the best things happen when there is no rush. Conversations that do not end, meals that stretch on, days that take their time to pass.

I have been working in events of different scales and purposes, and what moves me is not the size of the project, but what each person takes from each event. That is why I created Com Vagar: a project designed for experiences for smaller groups.

I do not think about how it will look in photographs. I think about how people will feel.

Do you have a project that deserves vagar?
