About The Founder
Founded in 2015 in Lisbon, Alzuleycha is the reflection of designer and architect Ana Sofia Paulo Guerreiro passion for the rich Portuguese architecture.
While working at a renovation company, Ana Sofia noticed the progressive disappearance of the architectural details that so characterize Portuguese architecture. Driven by a strong desire to preserve them, she found in the creation of decorative pieces a way to give them new life.
​
The inspiration for the first Alzuleycha pattern came from a hydraulic tile recovered from an old house. Its unique design gave rise to the brand's inaugural series, "Folha de Oliveira". The first product launched was the walldecor, designed to be easy to apply, offering a quick and effective way to transform any space.
​​​
After moving from Lisbon to California, in 2017, she wanted to continue creating and sharing the beauty of Portuguese architecture and design, so she opened Alzuleycha in the United States of America. ​
