Paulo Adolfo Pinto, a 46-year-old native of Porto, has been fueled by a lifelong passion for metals and their transformative potential. His unwavering dedication to specialization led him to join the Cindor Goldsmithing School in Gondomar in 1997, where he honed his skills in Goldsmithing, Jewelry, and Chiseling.

Over the course of ten years, Paulo worked alongside esteemed Master Goldsmiths, ultimately earning the title of Master Chiseler in one of Porto’s most renowned and prominent Goldsmith establishments. Motivated by a thirst for knowledge, an unwavering love for the arts, and an unyielding pursuit of perfection, Paulo embarked on various complementary specializations, including Artisan Casting using sand molds, Sculpture, and Goldsmithing.

In 2010, Paulo unleashed his creative spirit and embarked on his life’s project, which veered towards Artistic Locksmithing, Design, Luxury Furniture, and the creation of contemporary and organic Handles. In 2022, he founded NorthBrass.
