I’ve been designing paper lamp shades since 2017, and it still amazes me how a simple piece of paper can be transformed into a sculpture by making a folding pattern.
When I graduated from Art school, drawing and painting were my favorite mediums until I discovered "origami". Now my art is expressed in 3D by making intricate designs.
Three years ago, I launched my brand online while still living in Brazil. Now living in Texas, I'm debuting my new US light sculpture shop.
Hope y'all enjoy!
