By LatAm ARTE

I’m an illustrator and art director based in São Paulo. I have a bachelor's degree in Graphic Design and had a solid career in this field until I fell in love with illustration, animation and game design. Since 2011 I’ve worked as a freelancer for the biggest magazines in Brazil, illustrated many children’s books, created an online course for Domestika teaching my approach in illustration, and worked with clients such as Facebook, Kurzgesagt and with the Brazilian animation studios Lobo and Split Studio. I’ve also been a jury member for Brazil Design Award in 2020, SpCine KOHQ (an award for indie game developers organized by São Paulo city hall), went to events such as ICON8 (Illustration Conference in Portland, Oregon), Pictoplasma and character design masterclass Pictoplasma Academy. At Pictoplasma Academy (in Berlin, 2015), I created Timo, a character that until now has been the center of three projects of mine: an indie comic book, a mobile game and a game for Nintendo Switch (still in production).
