I first got into animation because I wanted to understand how Pixar made hair move. That curiosity led me briefly to computer engineering — until I realized that what fascinated me most wasn’t the technology itself, but storytelling.

I studied Film at FAAP in São Paulo, where I directed my first animated short, Fernweh. After graduating, I moved to Berlin and began working with studios and clients across Europe, developing my practice in animation and motion design. Living abroad also became the starting point for my second short, Casca, a film about migration, belonging, and the strange process of finding a place in a new landscape.

Casca was developed during an artist residency at The Animation Workshop in Denmark and premiered at Animafest Zagreb in 2025.

Today, I work as an animation director, animator and motion designer, collaborating with studios and production companies in Brazil, the U.S. and Europe across music videos, brand films, cultural projects, explainers and social campaigns. Alongside commissioned work, I continue developing my own films, using animation to explore displacement, identity and our relationship with the places we inhabit.

My work moves between commissioned projects and independent films, with a focus on 2D animation, visual storytelling and motion.
