Hello!
I’m a graphic designer based in San Francisco, California. I graduated from the MFA Design program at the California College of the Arts (CCA)—and I’ve been working as a graphic designer for seven years across a wide range of projects and forms: from designing books and exhibitions to brand identity systems. I’m very comfortable designing with digital and physical contexts and technologies.

I was born in São Paulo, Brazil, where I began my artistic career as an actor at thirteen years old. Moving to Santiago, Chile, I studied theatre and acted there for nine years, performing, as well as producing and directing various live theatre and broadcast projects. As a producer, I developed graphic design and communications work, which in turn inspired me to move to the United States to pursue a Design MFA at California College of the Arts.

Today, I try to focus on employing graphic design for visualizing connections across cultures that did not exist before, to help us see ways to understand each other a little more as human beings—and take action and care more deeply from what we’ve learned, beyond borders and languages. Understanding that graphic design is a medium that provokes questions, sensations, statements—a medium for transmitting information—the craft and materiality of my design process helps me to shape the experiences of what I can create with empathy and care for those that are intended to benefit from what I get to design.
