Hi!

I’m a  Brazilian graphic design student based in Rotterdam / NL .  Currently in the 4th year at Willem de Kooning Academy.


I always enjoyed drawing and painting, however I was never really conventionally good on it,  that barrier made me look for my own style, and accept imperfections and just release aspects of my creativity that were blocking me to be myself. I still consider art as my best therapy, both digital or analogue.


I found myself changing careers, from Fine Arts to Graphic Design,  as I saw it as a way of broaden my horizon in the arts scenario and I couldn’t be more glad with my choice. I started this learning process very focused on the aesthetic of my projects; colour use, typography, layouts, etc, as I’ve always done with illustration. However, I realised the visual has to be in line with research, contextual analysis, audience and storytelling. I believe that’s what makes Graphic Design special for me, it challenges myself to go further them my intuition.

Sociological and anthropological topics, such as neo-colonialism, have been recurrent in my works. These practices gives me the opportunity to research Latin American culture and bring it to a foreign audience.
