The short version
I started with what happens behind the website.
I began my digital career in 2018 working with automations, webhooks and connected systems — the quiet part of a business that decides whether an inquiry turns into a customer or disappears.
Later, I moved toward what people actually experience: UX, visual design and motion. Two disciplines that are usually kept apart, handled by different people, in different rooms.
The best digital experiences need both.
That combination eventually shaped the way I work today — one person carrying the look and the logic at the same time, so nothing gets lost between them.
Today, I build both.
A little beyond the work.
I'm based in Brazil, and a lot of what keeps me interested in digital work starts outside the screen. Music, drawing and art have always shaped the way I notice rhythm, composition, detail and personality.
