I made my first VHS short film in 1999, at just nine years old, and since then I never stopped creating.

At 16, I co-founded a studio in southern Brazil before moving to São Paulo in 2012, where I directed commercials, branded documentaries, and fashion films for leading production houses, global agencies, and major brands.

I have always had my own studio on the side for creative projects like photography, music videos, product design, art installations, editorials. And in 2022, I moved to Los Angeles in search of new projects, stories and challenges.

My experience expands through every process of creation:

Concept -> Budget -> Prep -> Production -> Post -> Delivery
