Biography

I started my studies at Catholic University of Portugal, first with a bachelor's degree in Sound & Image and later with a master's degree in Computer Animation, which included an internship as an animator in the Porto based studio Bando à Parte and small position in a motion-capture project. At the end of this course I created a short movie. I worked as a freelance artist in a variety of positions, most notably as an animator and storyboarder, for local businesses. After a year of freelance work I moved to Rome, in order to further develop my artistic skills at IDEA Academy, completing their Master of Visual Development course. Upon completing said course, I have resumed my work as a freelance artist. My latest position was as a storyboard artist for the movie "Viana - Legend of the Golden Heart" (tent. 2025)
