I was born in Guaxupé, a small city in the Brazilian countryside, where I developed a love for simplicity, nature, and a cosy environment.

I started playing videogames around age 5, and by 15, I was holding conversations in English, not because of school, but because games demanded it. Understanding stories, solving puzzles, navigating interfaces: it was all just part of playing.

When I moved to Curitiba in 2017, I tried to get into Game Design, but the course never had enough students to run. That's where I found Graphic Design, graduating on a full scholarship, and something clicked. My passion for games and design suddenly made complete sense as I went deeper into interfaces, concept art, and art direction. In 2018, I started my first full-time role as a Designer.

In 2020, I packed my bags for the UK.

I worked as a delivery cyclist, housekeeper, kitchen assistant, and freelance designer for small businesses to get by, and in between, I travelled to over 20 countries. Meeting new cultures, trying new food, and seeing the world from different angles has shaped how I think about people and, ultimately, how I design for them.

That's what I bring to every project: a perspective built from curiosity, adaptability, and a genuine belief that good design makes people's lives a little easier.
