Hi.
I'm a Brazilian Art Director and Designer.
Since childhood, I have considered drawing one of my greatest pleasures. Watching Disney's glorious green VHS tapes was one highlight of being a child.
At the age of 13, I illustrated informational handouts for a tech company. It was the perfect first job to ignite my passion for illustration, photography, design, and technology.
By the age of 15, I had coded an internal social network for my peers at my school in Brazil and found myself frequently called to the principal’s office because of it.
I've participated in international work exchange programs: resort housekeeping and serving dishes. I've also helped create systems for auction companies and decorated Christmas shopping mall trees. I even owned my own business. Check. Check. Check.
Then I migrated to the US, pursued Advertising Art Direction work, earned some accolades, and worked in agencies as well as freelanced. I've certainly been around the block, so to speak.
I'm highly interested in animation; AGI (singularity); and the future of technology and design as tools to combat a dystopian society; the mysteries of the human brain and the universe (The Theory of Everything); and also... Dogs and drag queens.
I want to learn, grow, and become a better person in this world — someone who is part of the solution, not the problem.
