PRISCILA TEIXEIRA
Ever since embarking on my first fashion venture at the age of twelve, I have stood at the crossroads of enterprise, artistry, and social impact. Through insightful podcasts, spirited blog posts, engaging workshop and immersive gatherings, I invite individuals and teams to consider how our garments might remedy the mental, social, and environmental strains of our era.
My role as a creative conductor allows me to weave sustainable principles into fresh approaches for problem-solving, connection, and collaboration. If you seek a voice that rouses hearts, kindles new perspectives, and dares to reimagine the power of what we wear, I welcome you to begin the conversation.
I hold a post-graduate degree in Fashion Business and Communications from Anhembi-Morumbi (Fashion Institute of Technology, FIT affiliated university in Sao Paulo, Brasil), studied at celebrated institutions such as CCAD, Parsons New York, and Sotheby’s, and graduated cum laude in Public Relations from Metodista University/Pontificia Universidade Catolica.
Along the way, I’ve been featured across major media outlets for my work bridging sustainability, history, psychology and genuine self-expression. My passion is igniting conversation across generations, helping audiences realize the power of find and being yourself while connecting to how our clothes carry our stories—and those stories can unite and inspire us in ways we’ve only begun to imagine.
When I speak, I channel grit, compassion, artistic freedom and innovation to spark change from the classroom to the boardroom, all while keeping an eye on a more balanced, connected, and beautifully sustainable future doing fashion for good.
