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 prestigious Illustrators Exhibition at the Bologna Children’s Book Fair.

Today, 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.
