Biography

I'm a 2D artist with 3+ years of experience, making illustrations, concept art, and animations come to life!

With a traditional art education and skills in digital painting, 2D/3D animation, and 3D modeling, I'm a true digital artist at heart. My animation shorts have made a splash in 16+ festivals, and "Catarse" even won "Best Portuguese Super Short Film" at Monstra Lisbon Animation Festival!

I'm currently mastering my art in the Advanced Illustration course at CG Spectrum, but when I'm not creating, you can find me dancing, taming cats, and daydreaming about being a horse whisperer.
Let's connect and turn your ideas into creative masterpieces!
