Graphic Designer and Illustrator with a career shaped between drawing boards and the Amazon rainforest. I began in Brazil’s skate and streetwear industry and later redefined my creative path through environmentally focused projects in the Amazon. I believe brands, like living organisms, must evolve to survive. I immerse myself in each client’s world—understanding their challenges, values, and context—to craft visual identities that are authentic, strategic, and built to last.
