I was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. My whole life I loved to draw but only decided to work in animation after watching Steven Universe and Spirited Away as a highschooler. I then moved to São Paulo, Brazil, and enrolled in FAAP as an animation major. While in animation school I worked on many student films and attented many animation festivals. I've recently graduated (2020) and have been working in the brazilian animation industry ever since. At the moment I'm working as a storyboard artist on a CGI preschool show. It's been very fulfilling but as my end date grows closer I feel the itch to explore new studios, not only in Brazil but across the world.
