Overview
Born and raised in São Paulo, Brazil, I'm a book worm with almost 10 years of experience in the editorial market. I'm currently based in Milan, where I attend the MSc in Communication Design at Politecnico di Milano and work as a Freelancer Designer. But truth is I've been a little bit everywhere: I've studied at Parson's, in New York, and at the Beaux-Arts, in Paris. My heart is truly international, and even though my mother language is Portuguese, I can also communicate in English, French and Italian.
Passionated about literature and the cultural industry, I work with enthusiasm and curiosity in the search of different techniques and creative processes that may vary from collage, engraving, photography, drawing, painting, always adapting the visual language to different kinds of public and proposals. My work has already been defined as fun, bold, original and colorful. Communication with the client is key: a good aligned briefing, keeping in touch and following feedback with care is essential to reach a satisfactory solution for both the client and the designer.
