Character Animator for TV, Web Series & Feature Film I animate to make stories feel alive, movement is where emotion lives, and that's what I chase in every shot. I grew up loving cartoons and games with strong stories, and I've always believed a great story deserves great animation to carry its emotions. That belief still drives me today. I have spent years in character animation across Brazilian productions, growing from Animator to Lead to Supervisor at studios like Hype Animation and START Anima. Credits include Vamos Brincar com a Turma da Mônica (award-winning Monica and Friends series, Lead Animator), Tainá e os Guardiões da Amazônia S2 (Golden Panda Award, Supervisor Animator), the Galinha Pintadinha feature, and Talking Hank for Outfit7. I trained at Animation Mentor (Advanced Character Animation diploma). Currently expanding into real-time pipelines, studying Unreal Engine and building a game animation reel while I do another advanced animation course at Onfire Animation School. Open to conversations about character work, animation leadership, and games.
