Mafalda Leão

Dedicated and passionate about the artistry of jewellery, my journey began in 2017 at Alquimia-Lab, a practical jewellery school, where I discovered my love for this craft. This jewellery course gave me a solid foundation in fundamental techniques, setting the stage for my artistic exploration.
Further honing my skills at Lívia Canuto Atelier in Rio de Janeiro, I took three short courses focused on wax techniques, ring creation, and developing my unique artistic identity.
As the founder of my brand, I immersed myself in the creative aspects and embraced a multifaceted role. Handling client management cultivated my entrepreneurial spirit, providing me with valuable insights and a holistic understanding of the jewellery industry. I gained valuable skills in leadership and communication, enhancing my ability to navigate diverse aspects of the jewellery world.
In addition to practical experience, I pursued academic growth at the University, elevating my techniques and expanding my knowledge. Beyond refining my practical skills, this academic journey allowed me to explore significant themes in arts, sustainability, and artistic expression, encouraging a more comprehensive and conscious approach to my creative ambitions.
My journey has shaped me into a versatile and conscious professional.
What particularly captivates me about jewellery is the opportunity to create pieces with profound meanings. Drawing inspiration from history, I strive to infuse my creations with a more profound significance, making each piece not just an object but a narrative that resonates with its wearer. I am enthusiastic about continuing this journey, combining academic learning with practical experiences to forge a meaningful and innovative career in the dynamic realm of jewellery.
