In 2005, while finishing my communication design degree, I was invited to work at an advertising agency where I learned how to work and bring brands to life.

Fast-forward to today, I have had the privilege of creating brands and projects for studios and advertising agencies with clients all over the world.

As my passion was photography, I mainly focused on projects where design and photography meet—an image without a soul is an empty mirror. No matter how long one stares into it, one will only find an emotional void, the absence of self.

In my free time, I usually wander the city streets, looking to capture fragments of the lives of those passing through my lens. I also travel and explore the world with my partner or enjoy the tranquillity of home with our two cats.
