Since I was little, I've always been passionate about art. My childhood playtime often ended with shredded paper scattered around the house, paint on my hands, and crayons on the floor. I was born in Corumbá, the capital of the Pantanal, in the interior of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, always surrounded by my younger cousins.

However, I ended up on the other side of the country, on the coast of Paraná, to become a civil engineer. But destiny has its way of guiding us, and the passion for art ended up speaking louder. So, right after graduating, I started studying and immersing myself in my own colorful world. I became an illustrator and today I dedicate myself to inspiring the imagination of young readers, illustrating children's books.
