About ME

from the world

Every time I get asked the question “where are you from?” I tend to laugh a little before answering “well, that’s a loaded question.” 

 I was born in Brazil – land of the beaches, sun, and soccer. At age seven, my family and I moved to Senegal, to the most west point of the African continent. Eleven years later, after graduating high school, I moved to northern Indiana, in the United States, to pursue a degree in graphic design and marketing. 

In sixth grade, I accidentally stumbled upon Adobe Photoshop. Hundreds of YouTube videos later, I finally learned how to do things on my own without having to follow a step-by-step process. I did designs for friends and small things for my high school until I was given the opportunity to redesign my school’s logo. Then, I realized that this could be a real path for me.
