Despite her short career, she has already directed and written a few short-films. A stand out from her portfolio is "Lembrança do que uma vez foste", an animation about the inevitable change in human connections over time, portraited by an affectionate relationship between a granddaughter and her grandfather; "Para a minha avó Fernanda", a documentary about her grandmother; and "Serenidade Campestre", a visual essay on rural life.
In addition to that, she has also created several titles as a Game Designer and Game Writer.
