I have always been a curious soul. As a Brazilian growing up in the countryside, I didn't have access to much stuff, so I needed to build my own, and I loved it.
Creativity has always been part of my daily basis. I remember when I got my first computer. Oh, man, what a day. I couldn't sleep. I didn't want to go to school, play outside, or talk with anybody. I just wanted to draw stuff on Microsoft Paint and play online games.
My journey with Design began when I was 12 years old. After playing every single online game possible, I started experimenting with tools like Fireworks, Dreamweaver, and Flash. Oh boy, those days were so fun.
As a teenager, I developed numerous websites and interactive games using Flash (ActionScript for life!), which ignited my passion for creating tech projects. Seeing people enjoying my quirky games was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Realizing that I could turn this passion into a career, I founded my first design agency to try to make some money, and in parallel, I started a degree in computer science to understand more about the foundations(and because my parents didn't stop to annoying me about college).
My first significant opportunity came when I was 19 years old and did a design internship at
Ioasys, one of Brazil's leading software development agencies. Since then, my career has continued to grow and evolve. You can learn more about my professional journey by clicking
