About

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 don´t like pizza, as I do not like flavour that much. I love vegetables and iogurt is 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 made myself a club (“ColorClub”), and I am a dedicated member. In other subjects, I love my job. I’m interested in Graphic Design, Visual Culture, Education and Values, as well as Analog Photography and Travelling. I have the opinion that our knowledge of the world has no value, except when we act to transform it. Beyond this, I believe in genuine and engaged creation, not falling into cynicism or arrogance, and I wonder if our over-saturation of knowledge has made us feel less. I hope not. Also, I am addicted to books. Thank you so much for taking the time to get to know me.
