My design work lives at the intersection of modernism & elegant simplicity. Placing emphasis on typography, color, and motion. — My process begins by visualizing an overall narrative for the project, making it impossible to ignore. — I incorporate interaction into my designs because you feel a connection when things move as you’d expect them to.

My

Me as a human

01 — Agroforestry

A personal passion. One of my goals in life is to do something similar to what Sebastião Salgado did in Brazil and contribute to my region's biome, the caatinga through building a micro agroforestry and creating a reference for the other villagers to do the same. Sustainably generate food while contributing to the environment.

I'm training to run my second half Marathon on Amsterdam TCS

02 — Running

03 — Playing Belchior on guitar

and Adoniran Barbosa, Trem das Onze

04 —Writing a book

My family history, and African-indigenous heritage

05 — Helping Brokolis loose weight

My cat Brokolis is a bit overweight, so the vet sent me on a mission to help him climb some stairs. His brother Laumius is also helping by playing with him and stealing food from him.
