I grew up in Santos, on the Brazilian coast, and moved to São Paulo in my early twenties to study Communications and Art. The work of Erik Spiekermann, Neville Brody and Pentagram pulled me into graphic design. That was more than twenty years ago, and the craft still asks new questions of me.

After sharpening my work in Brazil, I moved to Australia. A decade of that time was spent at Nine Entertainment, the country's largest locally owned media company, designing for some of its most recognised brands across television, digital and print, including The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and The Australian Financial Review.

A year in Barcelona followed. Living a few steps from Gaudí, Picasso and Miró made the city feel like a constant exhibition. The work of those masters recharged how I see colour, form and craft. I've since returned to Brazil and continue to take on art direction, design and brand work for clients here and abroad.
