I’m a Brazilian artist born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, driven by storytelling through animation and illustration. Since I was a kid I’ve loved drawing, and I grew into a professional capable of 2D animation, cut-out and traditional animation, concept art, and character design. I enjoy collaborating with teams to turn ideas into vivid visuals and engaging characters. I’ve worked on animated series, films, and game projects for platforms like Netflix, Prime Video, and YouTube, and as a freelancer I’ve collaborated with studios and game studios on a variety of productions. I’m highly collaborative, detail-oriented, and motivated by creating strong, clear artwork that supports storytelling and world-building.
