ABOUT
I’m a Brazilian Illustrator and Graphic Designer. I’ve been drawing since I’m a little kid. In school, my science books were all doodled over. I used to finish my homework as soon as I could, so I had more time for drawing super heroes and monsters. Then I attended to a Design college at UnB in Brasilia, my hometown. Drawing started to get more importance in my life and I enjoyed that.
Initially, my career path went through advertising agencies. I’ve worked as Art Director and Creative Director for over 13 years. It was fun and I learned a lot from many amazing people that I met in this market. I never stopped drawing though. I kept it as a hobby on my free time.
In 2013 I moved to Boulder, Colorado in the U.S. to work as a Creative for CP+B. I was excited with my life experience living abroad, so I started a side project: My Drawn Diary. I documented my life in the U.S. doodling in the same piece of paper for over 2 years.
In 2016 I realized that I shouldn’t keep working for advertising agencies anymore. I wanted to do my own thing. So I moved back to Brazil and put lots of effort and love on my illustrator side. Today illustration is more than a side project. It’s my career. And I love it.
