My journey
I can say that curiosity, joy and creativity are the three main characteristics that define me. Since childhood, I have had a wealth of learning and knowledge that complement each other and reflect the love I have for everything I do.
Due to my interest in adding, I bring into my repertoire what I learned – and continue to learn – from photography, cinema, writing, literature, the various artistic and cultural manifestations and also the varied purposes of design.
I was born in the city of Pelotas, in the interior of Rio Grande do Sul. I lived in Porto Alegre and Florianópolis before landing in Ottawa, Canada, where I am currently.
