From the Inside Out: Barbara Gomes

Home / Blog / From the Inside Out: Barbara Gomes

My name is Bárbara, I'm 25 years old, and I'm the creator of the Greens & Nuts project. I'm a designer and passionate about cooking – about cooking and being able to experience food in new places around the world. I'm still discovering my path and purpose in this area, but I know I'll be happy working on the fusion of design and cooking, providing unique moments and experiences for other people... and that's what I've been working on for the past few years. Currently, I do content production and social media management for brands I love (mostly food-related), catering for events (which I love doing most), and I'm developing a vegan cookbook :). My heart is divided between Cascais and Barcelona, and that's why I like to say I live 50% in each place. I love to travel, I love sunsets, and I love swimming in the sea.
