about me
During my Bachelor Degree in Social Communication at PUC-MG, Brazil, I worked as an art director for the university TV channel creating promos and TV spots. After the graduation I founded a design studio (Estudio Sabotage) with colleagues to explore and experience the interaction between different media such as video, photography, print, web and motion design. I then moved to São Paulo where I lived for three years working for a spot film productions as the director’s assistant and post-production supervisor.
I recently concluded Postgraduate Degree in Visual Communication and Multimedia at IUAV University of Venice, while working with type, video, graphic design and new media. During this period in Italy I have won awards at film festivals, being one of them a short-film Crisalide commissioned by Regione Veneto. In 2010, I participated to Venice Biennale of Architecture with YEGO!, a video documentary about Rwanda.
My postgraduate thesis focused on type design, retrieving renaissance typefaces from Francesco Griffo and recreating them as a sans-serif typeface for contemporary publishing. Currently I have been collaborating as a free lancer for the new design collective Undiciundici.

remarks
I am very curious as a person and this led me to devote myself to the theory and practice of different languages of visual communication. I am interested in signs and symbols, lettering and calligraphy, history and the potential of digital typography. I also love good music, photography and cinema. Working often within the fields of motion design and advertising shaped my aesthetic sense and improved my multidisciplinary and communication methodology towards the market needs. I enjoy listening, observing, analyzing and finding solutions (independently of the media) to conceive my understanding of design.
