About

Hello! I’m a freelance illustrator, I live in Brazil, and I’m currently focused on my big dream: illustrating children’s books. I’ve been working with digital illustration since 2021, but it was in 2024 that I started directing my focus especially toward the children’s audience. I’ve always been passionate about children’s books. As a child, I remember being enchanted by illustrated books. I’ve always loved drawing, but I never imagined it could be a possible career path. When I was children, the idea of ‘working with drawing’ almost never crosses our minds. In adulthood, I discovered that this is indeed a real possibility, which makes me fall more and more in love with it, as it is such a sensitive, creative, and wonderful work.
