Biography

Drawing has always been my favorite activity for as long as I can remember. I grew up in love with animated films in the 90's. I studied traditional animation and 3d animation during college. I started my career as an editorial illustrator, I worked as an animation assistant for a series in a small studio in São Paulo. After a while I started to get interested in design and painting and find my way as a concept artist. I went through some animation studios for commercials such as Techno Image, Vetor Zero, in addition to having worked for some studios outside the country. Today I work as Art Director and Visdev artist for the Zombie studio where I have participated in commercials, some short films and pre-productions for feature films.
