What I'm looking for

I seek motion design roles where I can create poetic, playful visual campaigns using VFX and 2D/3D tools, in a collaborative, creative team with opportunities to work on brand and short-form storytelling.

I am a motion designer who creates playful, abstract visuals by combining geometry, organic shapes, color and light with VFX experimentation to produce fresh, poetic work.

I have hands-on experience as a Motion Designer Intern at Ocidental and as a MoGraph Motion Designer at Vanaciprime, contributing motion design for brand campaigns and social media visual storytelling.

I hold motion graphics certification (2D/3D) from World Academy in Lisbon and a bachelor’s degree in Language and Communication from Universidade Estácio de Sá in Brazil, and I have completed freelance projects producing 2D/3D animated ads and short-form documentary VFX.

I work across the full motion pipeline using tools such as After Effects, Cinema 4D, Blender and DaVinci Resolve, and I bring clarity and craft to visual assets for brands and short-form content.
