I’m a designer and illustrator from southern Brazil, currently based in Blumenau. My practice bridges visual design, illustration, and storytelling, exploring how emotions, memory, and technology can shape meaningful visual experiences.
My work ranges from brand identities and digital platforms to publications, motion graphics, and editorial design. I combine craft and concept to create visual systems that are both expressive and functional.
Guided by curiosity and a human-centered mindset, I aim to design with human emotions. I’m drawn to projects that connect art, design, and environmental awareness, translating ideas into visual narratives that inspire connection.
I often collaborate with other creatives: developers, writers, photographers, and motion designers, to craft meaningful projects.
