Soul of an artist | Heart of a pirate
Born and raised in Santos, Brazil, my design journey began in my early twenties when I moved to São Paulo to pursue a degree in Communications and Art. Inspired by the creative mastery of legends like Neville Brody, David Carson, Erik Spiekermann, and the iconic Pentagram, I dove headfirst into the world of graphic design, and I've been riding its creative waves ever since.
After honing my craft in Brazil, I took a leap of faith to Australia, where I worked in various design agencies and spent incredible years with Nine Entertainment, the biggest locally owned media company in the country. At Nine, I contributed to some of Australia's most iconic brands, from television networks to digital platforms and print mastheads like The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, and Australian Financial Review. It was an experience that helped shape my design perspective and expand my creative horizons.
Now, I'm embracing the dynamic design scene in Barcelona, Spain, where every corner sparks new inspiration.
