I’m a Brazilian motion designer based in Austin, TX since 2019. But my creative journey started long before that. At 18, curiosity led me to Photoshop, and soon after I got my first "job" designing banners for a movie review site.

Even while studying business and working in more traditional roles, I always found ways to bring design into whatever I was doing. Over time, I realized what truly excited me was bringing visuals to life. That pulled me out of the business world, into film school, and eventually into the world of motion design.

In recent years, I’ve expanded my skill set into UI/UX, applying my motion background to create clearer interfaces, refine visual behavior, and support product teams with thoughtful, user-centered design. I’ve also been exploring AI tools, experimenting with image and video generation to speed up workflows, develop ideas faster, and push creative possibilities.

Across motion, design, and UI/UX, what drives me is the same: caring about the details, never stop learning, and creating work that feels intentional, engaging, and meaningful.

Freelancer

2019-2021

For over two years, I worked independently with clients, managing projects from concept to delivery. I specialized in creating multimedia content such as explainer videos, social media animations, GIFs, logo animations, and promotional videos.

Conteúdo Filmes

2015-2018

As a Motion Designer at Conteúdo Filmes in Brazil, I created 2D and 3D animations for major cable TV channels, including Warner, Universal, Telecine, and Globoplay, collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to deliver a wide range of projects.

Brainstorming Entretenimento

2014-2015

At Brainstorming Entretenimento (now Brain+), I designed print materials such as press clipping albums, flyers, and other collateral for theatre productions. During this time, I also began exploring motion design in After Effects, creating animations for upcoming shows that were featured on the company’s website.
