Patricia started her career working as a stylist and producer on numerous fashion photo and film shoots while still a student, before graduating in 2005 with a BA in Fashion Design from Santa Marcelina University (São Paulo, Brazil). Soon, Patricia began experimenting as a filmmaker of short independent films, which quickly led to major public screenings. Her films Glove and Vestida para Matar were presented at São Paulo Fashion Week in 2003 and 2004. Later in 2005, Patricia’s short film Amarelinha, um Jogo entre o Ceu e o Inferno received its premier at the Festival do Minuto.
