I've gone out into the world and seen everything from a unique and different point of view in each of the places I've been. All the truths we believe can be completely ignored in another faraway scenario. Design seeks to understand it. How each individual is unique and how each can have a completely different experience while supposedly in the same circumstances.

The enchantment began with the visual arts. I developed my creativity by learning to draw and paint. My first degree was a bachelor's degree in Visual Arts course at Federal University of Rio de Janeiro.

But in the middle of this process I realized that I needed to find ways to make an impact in a more practical, evident and objective way.
So I embarked on this adventure by joining the Visual Communication Design course in the same University. I followed this journey until I became a Product Designer
