I'm a Brazilian illustrator, and I've loved drawing since I was a kid—I used to doodle on my mom’s wardrobe doors when I couldn’t find any paper! :) For some time now, I’ve been working on children’s book illustration projects with publishers in Brazil and Portugal. My approach is collaborative and flexible, always focused on capturing the heart of the story and the emotions of its characters. I strive to make each illustration a meaningful and memorable part of the narrative. I studied graphic design and fine arts, and I love working with watercolor, gouache, acrylics, colored pencils, and collage. I also use digital tools like Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. My dream is to keep drawing even when I’m old—because I believe life is better when it's filled with joy and color. And if you’d like, we can bring that joy to life together. So, shall we illustrate the world? ;)
