I graduated in Social Communications from the University of São Paulo, Brazil, and I started off as a designer in advertising agencies in 2011. In 2014 I gave up this path to pursue a career as a freelance artist. Since then, I worked in many areas such as children's books, animation, advertising, editorial, etc. I strode an enormous variety of styles and learned a lot in the process. I even studied Visual Arts during this time at São Paulo State University, Brazil. But then in 2019, I decided to switch gears once again, ditch the kind of illustration work that didn't interest me too much, and focus solely on Fantasy and Sci-Fantasy illustration, especially for the games and publishing industries. That's where my heart was, after all. In 2021 I moved from Brazil to Portugal and I'm so excited that I'm closer to THU's birthplace now.
