With my expertise in graphic design, illustration, and art direction, I have had the pleasure of collaborating with a diverse range of clients and industries, including advertising, gaming, and publishing. Throughout my career, I have created compelling concepts and designs for a variety of media, including mobile games, animations, and comics. I possess a deep understanding of art composition, color theory, and digital illustration, allowing me to create visually stunning content that resonates with audiences and communicates the intended message. My experience as a co-founder and art director at TCRWEB/Desvendar.com gave me a comprehensive understanding of project management, team leadership, and corporate identity, all of which have been invaluable in my career. I managed a team of designers in creating hundreds of websites, including the most important web portal in the tourism sector for Minas Gerais State, the Desvendar.com. As a freelance artist, I have provided high-quality illustration and concept art for various clients, such as advertising agencies, licensors, and comic book publishers. My specialties include 2D art, character design, and fantasy illustration, and I have contributed to a number of successful projects in these areas. In the last ten years, I have also worked as an art teacher and mentor, helping dozens of aspiring artists prepare for careers in the creative industries. This experience has given me a unique perspective on the creative process and the importance of fostering a collaborative and supportive environment. Overall, my skills, creativity, and dedication to excellence make me an ideal candidate for any organization seeking a talented Art Director, Concept Artist, Illustrator or 2D Artist. With my experience in team leadership, project management, time management, and art fundamentals, I am confident that I can help bring any project to life and create compelling worlds that engage and inspire audiences.
