Lorena Prieto
Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas
I am a Fashion Design student at the Pontifical Catholic University of Campinas, Brazil, with a practice grounded in accessory design and creative craftsmanship. My work explores the relationship between material, form, and identity, often translating organic references into contemporary pieces. Alongside my academic journey, I run my own atelier, where I develop handmade bags and accessories through a close and collaborative process with clients. This experience has strengthened my sensitivity to functionality, personalization, and storytelling in design. I am particularly interested in material experimentation, combining traditional techniques with new approaches to create pieces that balance aesthetics, purpose, and emotional connection.
