"I create. Therefore, I am."

Ever since I can remember, I've always been interested in various art and design mediums. My passion for creative pursuits was confirmed at the age of fourteen, when I was introduced to the tools and techinques of illustration. Since then, my repetoire has grown to include graphic design, painting and web design, plus silk screen and wall clock design and production.

My personal passions - which filter my creativity - stem from a host of life experiences and inspirations. I was born and raised in Sao Paulo, Brazil. I moved to the United States in 2003 to learn English, and I've been here ever since. While I am mostly self-taught, over the years I've been priviledged to work for companies with designers that have mentored me. I continue to enjoy those relationships, now as contributor and consultant.

I have a natural inclination towards computer design and art, and the scope of my abilities continually expands as I study and learn the newest techniques and applications. For over ten years, I have worked in both print and web design, and my portfolio includes work for many high profile clients.

I have a natural curiosity and whether in art or in life, I have a knack for making things happen. Wanting to find a new way to do something and making it happen through my imagination is what I love most about my work.
