PEDRO FARIA
WHERE I COME FROM
Hey! I'm Pedro Faria, I'm 23 years old, and I come from a place far removed from what we call the modern world.
A SMALL TOWN, BIG HEART
I grew up in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in a small town called Rogatica, home to around 6000 people – about the size of two schools in Portugal. It was a place with few opportunities, where winters were harsh but summers were filled with happiness. My childhood was simple, without technology – just pure, real moments.
A NEW CHAPTER
At 12, I moved to Portugal to live with my brother. From that point on, our journey took a different path.
By the time I was 18, I had launched my first clothing brand. It started as a simple idea between two friends, and we pushed forward to create something unique that fit every style. The project ran for four years, and in 2022, I said goodbye to that big dream – one that shaped me, drove me, and helped me grow into the person I am today, happy and fulfilled in my own way.

EXPLORING NEW HORIZONS
After moving to France and later to Ireland in 2023, I felt a stronger pull toward my creative side. I began valuing my hobbies more and realized I wanted to take my projects seriously.
THE JOURNEY THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING
The real turning point was a three-month, low-budget trip through Southeast Asia. That experience shifted my perspective in ways I hadn’t anticipated. Time felt different, and knowledge became something beautiful. Days spent with tribes, playing with kids in Cambodia, and witnessing stunning views – especially in Vietnam, which felt like a movie – transformed something inside me. When I returned, I felt like a part of me had stayed there.
TURNING
MY PASSION INTO WORK
That trip taught me to let go of stereotypes and stop worrying about what others think. Little by little, I’ve been learning to be more authentic, sharing my thoughts and creations without overthinking.
During that time, I also started my first design and social media management project. For the first time, I could travel while earning money remotely. Since then, I’ve fallen in love with everything related to video, design, and managing social media.
