Ever since I was young, I dreamt of working in the animation industry, being it in cinema or video games. I had contact with games since an early age, and watched animated movies since I can remember, since the long gone VHS era. I used to watch all the extra features in the DVDs, specially the making of's, and imagine myself as one of the masters of hand drawn animation those features used to showcase. I spent most of my free time drawing and doing some flip books, as well as modeling with clay and doing simple animation poses that I could detect from the films I used to watch. Later on, after High school, I got my Bachelor's degree in Arts and Multimedia, at Instituto Universitário da Maia, when upon finishing, I started a short stop-motion animation film as a personal project, along with Megalito Media. This project is in stand by to this day, I felt the need to improve it after all I learned throughout the years, and so, I'll get back to it some day. For some time i did some freelance work as an Illustrator and animator for some minor commissions. While working as a Marketing manager, I also got my Master's degree in illustration and Animation, at Instituto Politécnico do Cávado e do Ave, where, for my final subject, I interned at Nerd Monkeys Studio as a 3D Artist and Animator. Although, I also produced some concepts art, illustration, and 2D animations at the time. In 2022, I worked as a 3D Animator for Ocidental Filmes, for about a month, and at Nerd Monkeys Studio for 4 months, as a freelance 3D Artist and Animator. But also producing some concept art, and 2D vfx animations.
