My Story

My journey wasn't a straight line: it was an exploration of many worlds. I started out fascinated by Science and Technology, dreaming of becoming a renewable energy engineer. Everything changed in ninth grade, when I discovered Photoshop and started teaching myself — that curiosity is what opened the doors to digital design.

At IPCA, that passion found its foundation. I went through a wide range of disciplines, from branding to web design, from editorial to 3D, and embraced my identity as a creative jack-of-all-trades: someone who loves connecting the dots between different fields. That multidisciplinary base, together with the engineering logic that never left me, shaped the way I work: solving problems with structure, without losing the creative soul.

Today, with artificial intelligence, being a jack-of-all-trades is no longer a distraction — it's an advantage. AI lets me take every idea further in every field, from brand to code, from 3D to video, and because I know each of them from the inside, I can make connections that usually go unnoticed.

Experience

Me Beyond the Pixels

Between projects, I split my time between reducing an impossible backlog of series and films, exploring anime insanities and that game I still haven't had time to finish.

Recently, my favourite 'procrastination' is seeing how far I can push AI tools before they fight back. At the end of the day, above all, nothing beats time spent with family, which is my true source of motivation.
