meet our founder & CEO
Nurian Ferreira da Luz
I am a woman shaped by strength, resilience, and purpose. I come from rich cultural roots in Guinea-Bissau, holding Portuguese nationality. My mother is from Guinea-Bissau, and my father is from Cape Verde and Portugal. From them, I inherited courage, dignity, and an unbreakable spirit.
Life challenged me early. I lost my parents at a young age and was raised from the age of three by my oldest sister, who became my mother, protector, and guide. Losing her later in life was one of the deepest pains I have ever known. In 2014, carrying grief but also faith and determination, I moved to England with the decision to turn pain into purpose.
I hold a degree in Human Resources Management, and I am known for being professional, honest, disciplined, and a perfectionist in everything I do. Excellence is not a choice for me; it is a standard.
In 2018, I founded Special Touch, a business built with love, dedication, professionalism, and faith. It is more than a beauty brand; it is a reflection of my journey, values, and vision. Every step has been guided by hard work, gratitude, and belief.
Today, I am a wife and a proud mother of two children, and everything I do is driven by the legacy I want to leave for my family and for other women.
My story is proof that loss does not define your future, and pain does not cancel your purpose. With faith, discipline, and determination, a woman can rise, build, and lead.
