I'm 28 years old from Portugal and I'm a freelance concept artist. Since I was little, I have always been very passionate and intrigued about films and video games, and the way these two media manage to captivate the audience through such amazing worlds, characters, visuals, and cinematography to convey experiences and messages. From the beginning, my academic education was always directed towards film and video game industry; I studied arts, digital media, branding, and cinematography. My goal is to use my artistic skills and knowledge in the art department team to contribute as much as possible for the success of both the project and the company, and learning and growing as a professional along the way.
