As you can imagine, I am not a robot 🤖

I was born and raised in Minas Gerais, Brazil, and lived in Montreal, Canada for 2 years with my mini dachshund dog, Cacau. I went there to study French, - oui je parle un petit peu de français aussi, e português, é claro!- and to improve myself as an international designer. I am graduated in Graphic Design and post-graduated in Interaction Design. And after 2 years living in Montreal, I'm back to Brazil and now I'm looking for a new opportunity as UI/UX.

What about design?

The design came to me as a life changing thing. I was lost about what to do after high school until a technical course about design came to my city in 2013. Since then, I've never left this career. In 2014 I started to study Publicity & Advertising for 2 years. Still, I was in love with design, so I changed my course and graduated in Graphic Design instead.
My dad (Ademar, in memorial) always helped me a lot with my career and encouraged me to follow my dreams. His support was fundamental to me when I decided to travel alone to London, Lisbon and Dublin in 2018. This travel opened my eyes, and I realized that I wanted to live abroad working as a designer. When I came back to Brazil, I started to plan what I should do to improve myself as a designer... after a couple of months, I changed from Graphic Design to UI/UX Design.
