    I’ve always been creating. from drawing and music to coding websites and creating concepts for all types of projects. my career as a designer begun as an autodidact, designing party brochures and t-shirts for friends, until finally deciding to study formally, graduating in 2011 as a print designer. It took a couple of years but when I discovered the digital world and HTML & CSS, I was amazed at the limitless opportunities that space allowed, and so I worked constantly to sharp my coding skills and the learning all I could regarding what are digital products and how I could incorporate my previous experience to push me forward in this space. Now I’m in a place where I believe I can bring maximum value to my clients by going through the entire product cycle: Ideation, move into production, and then finally launch followed by continuous optimization.

    I'm very visual, restless, and endlessly curious. That's what led me to choose design as my path in the professional world. My heart beats strongly for the experience, whether it's digital or in everyday life. It all started back in high school when a teacher introduced me to design. From that point on, my entire education was in this universe, from my undergraduate degree to my master's. College brought me a passion for photography, and I even had a photography studio that, over time, transformed into a design studio. I did a bit of everything, from serving local small businesses to market giants like L'Oréal. Besides the commercial side, I had the opportunity to collaborate with various educational and research institutions in the south and southeast of Brazil, including the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio), Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz), Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), and the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO). This contact with educators and inspirers strengthened my desire to become a university professor. I realized that I can combine design and education by sharing my professional experience with students, bridging the gap between academia and the industry. Contributing to the development of future professionals is gratifying and naturally keeps me updated on everything happening in the design universe. Working in leadership, research, and design management ended up being a natural path for someone who has always believed in people's development through the design of experience, technology, and education. In addition to all of this, I am the father of three wonderful boys who make my life much more fun.
