Born in Benedita, Catarina Ferreira proved herself an ideas person from an early age.
After studying Ceramic Engineering, her life's true vocation took her in a different path to kindergarden education.
Her passion for crafts and cooking blossomed in the Azores, inspiring her to develop a space that would become “home” - Rotas da Ilha Verde, a vegetarian restaurant. Since then several projects arose: 3/4 Hostel and Café, Louvre Michaelense, Primos and Fermento Pastry.
In 2019 Louvre Michaelense's building underwent a regeneration, a challenge she embraced with architect Paulo Vieitas and which earned them the Paulo Gouveia Architecture Prize.
