I was born and raised in São Paulo, Brazil. Now I live in São José dos Campos (~1.5 hours away). Like the majority of Brazilian kids, my childhood dream was to be a soccer player. It didn't work out.
In my childhood, I had a lot of time with video games — GameBoy, Nintendo DS, PS1, etc. This sparked my interest in technology and made me curious to know how things works.
I was too young to see that design could be a career path, so I stopped creating and enrolled in a business degree instead. Years later, I rescued that childhood feeling and transitioned to design, where I've now been for more than 5 years.
When I'm not working, I'm practicing sports, taking photos, doing crosswords, discovering new coffee shops, playing video games, listening to good music, and trying to slow down.
