What I'm looking for

I'm ready to grow from individual contributor into leading AI generators across projects.

At Animara Studios, I direct AI-made short films and animations, turning scripts into storyboards, shot lists, and scenes before editing the clips for narrative clarity and visual consistency.

At FRST Falconi, I directed the first FRST Originals learning track produced entirely with generative AI. The production approach brought the cost per lesson from about R$80k to about R$700.

I also created an automation system that the CTO developed into a scalable production pipeline, along with two AI agents that replicate my creative-direction method and generate visual prompts.

Earlier, I worked in motion design at Fluency Academy and Escola Conquer, and as a freelance motion designer and art director. My background includes 2D animation, short films, visual identities, campaigns, and audiovisual production.
