Biography
I’m Amanda, a Brazilian illustrator who loves to tell stories through art, especially the ones where I can talk about my country's culture and history. Currently I’m working as a 2D artist and 2D animator at Lémn for an upcoming preschool mobile game. I have 4+ years of experience in the animation and game industry.
I recently have worked with Alopra, Crenix, and Made by Things as a character designer, prop designer, and 2D layout artist for projects like Criamigos, Bob Zoom, and The Adventures of Captain Cotton, winner of The Best Kid Games prize for the BIG Festival 2022 edition.
