30+ BOOKS ILLUSTRATED • CLIENTS ACROSS BRAZIL, US, UK, AND CHINA
I was born in the 90s in a small town in Brazil, surrounded by nature and a massive collection of books & comics. I’m autistic, and art has always been my lens for understanding the world. I was the introverted kid who spent hours drawing every day. At eight, I boldly wrote a letter to Latin America’s biggest comic studio to announce my future employment!
That spark led me through art school, an inspiring exchange program in Uruguay, and into a career focused on children’s publishing: turning my childhood dreams into reality.
I specialize in picture books, chapter books and educational materials for publishers internationally.
As an LGBT and neurodivergent artist, I actively seek out projects that highlight diversity, empathy, and courage. Ultimately, I want my illustrations to be a safe harbor where kids feel truly seen, validated, and inspired to find magic in their everyday lives.

WHEN I’M NOT ILLUSTRATING:
I’m likely singing with my guitar, practicing circus acrobatics, or re-reading TJ Klune’s The House in the Cerulean Sea (my emotional support book). My cat Loki judges all life choices from his favorite chair.
