Biography
Watching cartoons and animated movies as a kid really sparked my creativity. I've always known I wanted to work in the industry and after studying graphic design in college, I left home and went to Canada to study animation concept art. I fell in love with Vancouver and I had the most amazing time working exclusively on my portfolio and meeting like-minded people. I love being a student and it felt amazing being soaked by the knowledge the instructors gave us. I graduated in 2022 with honors and came back to my hometown in Brazil. I've been working hard on my portfolio ever since and trying to keep my creative juices flowing, signing up for courses, talking to new people, and learning as much as I can. If I'm not drawing, I'm singing or reading. I love musical theater and I'm very passionate about libraries. Right now I'm studying french and I hope one day I can be a true polyglot and learn as many languages as I can.
