Hey!
I'm a Brazilian-Italian graphic designer and lettering artist graduated in Visual Arts from PUC-Campinas, Brazil. My work ranges from branding projects to digital illustrations to type design consultations mainly focused on the entertainment industry (Film, TV, games, and books). I've lived around various countries as a nomad and worked remotely and on-site for studios from all around the world.
When not working on client projects you can find me traveling to a new place, tasting something different from a random restaurant (my stomach usually chooses where to travel next), or studying a new language (currently learning Korean). I'm passionate about new cultures, languages, and places and that's my biggest inspiration for creating new artwork.
Selected clients: Disney, ALDI, Lottomax, Tânia Bulhões.
