About

I'm a Brazilian audiovisual artist based in Berlin since February 2022. I'm passionate about storytelling, and I've been studying and working with films and peripheral audiovisual activities since 2006. 
I reckon that Art can heal humanity, flowing the emotions on the screen and reaching the audience's heart, even if it happens just for a few minutes. For me, film directing is putting a group together in a harmonic way, pursuing each professional's creativity in the project. All of this motivates me to continue my path.

I graduated in Image and Sound (Film Studies) at the São Carlos Federal University (UFSCar) in 2010, and in 2016 I finished a 2D animation Associate's Degree at the Audiovisual Center of São Bernardo do Campo (CAV). 

I've worked as Film Editor, assistant director and screenwriter in animation, documentary features, and shorts. Besides, I consider myself a director on a learning curve. I directed and edited advertising and experimental videos and contributed as a videomaker and 2D animator in education centres of Public Universities in Brazil (UNESP and UFSCar). Recently I discovered that I could also be an audiovisual mentor. 

What I love is making films and audiovisual projects with strong and engaging stories.

I'll be glad to receive your message.
My warmest regards.
