Biography
I started my career working as fashion designer, firstly producing designs for shoes and then for clothing, but I ended up not adapting and I decided try to work with illustration, one of my passions. I toke my first steps and since this I’ve been working as digital artist for about 10 years.
In this period of time, working as freelancer illustrator, I contributed to a variety of projects here in Brazil of printed and digital media.
The first big job I had the opportunity to work was in the production of the film Zoom (O2 Films) a live-action/animated film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, directed by Pedro Morelli. I was taking a part of rotoscoping animation team, drawing and coloring frames of the film. Then I started to work with advertising campaign as concept artist, character designer and illustrating still frames and storyboards for Brazilian big studios as Black Madre, Vetor Zero and Lobo CX. With them I could work in campaigns for clients such as Budweiser, Ruffles potato chips (PepsiCo), Oreo (Mondelēz International) and others.
I also work illustrating courseware for an educational platform (SAS Educational) and worked in an advertising game for the rent car company Movida, illustrating characters and props (Execution Agency).
I published three comics, two of them (Ida e Volta and Doppler) independently and one (Fome dos Mortos) was published by Editora Draco, a Brazilian publishing company.
At the year 2020 I organized the Baile de Máscaras (Masquerade) a comic anthology with around 90 authors in order to raise founds to NGOs which take care of people afflicted by the covid-19 pandemic. I also drew two stories in this anthology. The comic book will be released this year.
Between 2019 and 2020 I had the opportunity to work as a drawing instructor at Quanta Arts Academy, teaching fundamentals of drawing to students of different ages.
Last year I started to work at the mobile game industry as game artist at La Bird, an indie studio, producing character designs and UI elements for its upcoming game Idle Stories, a tap game sub-genre which consists in create and customize a human avatar and his house, and in another project which is already in progress, an endless runner game.
I still working in this studio as freelancer part time and started to work full time at Pipa Studios, one of the most important studios of bingo games in Latin America. At Pipa I work as game artist producing concept art, character design, UI design for bingo machines inside de game Bingo Rex and eventually I collaborate with the contents team producing illustrations for the Rex's seasons, which are parallel stories evolving Rex, the dog, generally he is making some mess.
I am focused in pushing myself to learning more and more with the game industry to become increasingly skilled game artist and raise high flights in my career.
