For the past 15 years, I have worked as a 2D/3D Animator, Storyboard Artist, and Character Designer for TV series, commercials, AR & VR animated educational videos, one feature film, and animated shorts. 
Check out my Portfolio - Animation Showreel (my website is a little bit slow, I'm working on that.).

Some of my work can been seen: Shrek's Adventure! in London, Nutriventures (1st season), Emmy & Gooroo (2nd season), various TV commercials, and in games like ZooTycoon 2013 for XBOX, Coaster Crazy , 8 ball pool , 8bp Trickshots , Flip skater , Street Diver (mobile games).

I have also written tutorials for 3D World Magazine, and my work was featured on the cover of issue 272.

I am finishing a PhD in VR animation while teaching BA and MA courses. However, I can’t stay away from the industry for too long — I thrive on animation and exciting projects!

In my free time, I manage TugaNetwork, a platform I created in 2017 to help the Portuguese artist community connect, share job opportunities, showcase work, collaborate on projects, and exchange knowledge.

I am always learning new software to stay up to date.

- I'm proficient in Adobe Photoshop and Blender.

- I'm good in Zbrush, Adobe Illustrator, Premiere, After Effects, ToonBoom Harmony (animation and rigging).

- I'm comfortable animating in Maya and Cinema 4D, texturing in Substance Painter, and importing my work to Unity.
