What I'm looking for

I'm looking for visual projects where I can take ideas from concept to final artwork, combining illustration, visual identity, typography, 3D, video, and narrative-driven design.

I'm a multidisciplinary graphic designer and illustrator based in Rio de Janeiro, creating visual identities, typography, 3D, video, and digital illustration for projects where images tell a story.

Through freelance and personal game projects, I design 2D game mechanics, systems, narrative structure, character art, scenario art, animation, interfaces, and Unity implementation. My work includes Noturna, a psychological-horror visual novel with art direction, UI, and character design.

I've also edited and finished films, music videos, and multimedia content as a self-employed video editor and at Estúdio Mega, where I supported color grading, visual consistency, graphics, and final delivery.

My foundation in drawing, graffiti, illustration, and acrylic painting informs work such as Modular Tarot, ShadowPain, Atomic Watermelon, and realistic Photoshop composites. I use Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Blender, Premiere, and DaVinci Resolve to take visual projects end to end.
