During her childhood and adolescence, drawing was the form of artistic expression she most identified with, which led her to study at the Soares dos Reis Art School, in Porto. A certain fascination for technology drove her to the Communication Design course and to specialize in web design. Those interests were extended to an autonomous research process in creative coding.

Joana enrolled in a bachelor’s degree in Dance, at Escola Superior de Dan\u00e7a in Lisbon. It was a turning point, not only geographic, but also cultural and artistic.
