This hands-on experience honed my skills and gave me a deep understanding of the graphic design industry.

My passion for graphic design began in 1994 at the age of 18. Fueled by this enthusiasm, along with two friends, we founded MCI Serviços Gráficos, a small business focused on creating and publishing printed materials. This hands-on experience honed my skills and gave me a deep understanding of the graphic design industry. 

Seeking to deepen my knowledge, I enrolled in a Graphic Arts course at Maui Community College in 1999, transitioning from self-taught to a formally trained designer.

In 2002, I took on the role of Art Director and Urban Marketing Consultant at Urbe Planejamento Urbano while simultaneously studying Social Communication with a focus on Marketing in Brazil. During this period, I actively contributed to significant projects, including the creation of Master Plans for nine cities in Bahia, public tenders for Metro and Monorail systems in Salvador, BA, and the development of the São Francisco River Transposition Monitoring Platform for the Federal Government, among many other projects of significant importance for the state of Bahia.

In 2005, I moved to Australia to complete my Bachelor of Graphic Design at Sydney Graphics College. My desire for knowledge in a new area took me to Barcelona, Spain, where I studied Audiovisual Production at Digital Dreams Films between 2007 and 2008.

Today, I continue to combine my design expertise with marketing knowledge at Urbe Planejamento Urbano, while also leading Up Leads, a digital marketing company specializing in web applications, digital marketing, info product launches and Advertising Campaigns Management.
