I am an illustrator and freelance artist currently based in New Jersey, USA…

…but originally born and raised in Brazil! I share my home with my beloved wife and our two cats, Calvin and Haroldo =^.^=

My creative path began early, always surrounded by drawings, colors, and stories. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design and a Master’s in Digital Design. Since then, I’ve been working as a freelance artist for almost a decade, collaborating with indie game studios, teaching digital painting, and even experimenting with 3D printing for fun projects and products! I am always trying new creative stuff!

I love creating stylized, colorful art filled with personality and charm. My main focus today is picture book illustration, where I combine my love for storytelling and visual design. I use tools like Blender, Photoshop, and Procreate to bring my ideas to life, though I often return to my traditional roots with colored pencils and watercolor.

And, as always, no AI art! I am a proud member of SCBWI and CBIG!
