Between the drawing and the idea, there's always a wrong turn that turns out right. That's where I work.

Architecture trained.
Comics awarded.
Bologna selected.
Always drawing.

I began my creative path contributing to independent fanzines and group exhibitions, before completing a degree in Architecture at the Universidade Técnica de Lisboa. In 2011, I was awarded Best Comic at the Amadora BD Festival — a turning point that revealed where my heart truly was.

In 2021, my work was selected for the Illustrators Exhibition at the Bologna Children's Book Fair, and I'm also winner of the 2026 Indie Authors Children & YA Book Jacket Award.

I work as a freelance illustrator and animator, creating for international brands, magazines, and advertising campaigns, while also painting murals and developing animated pieces. My visual world blends structure and spontaneity with playful storytelling.
