I'm a Brazilian 2D Rigger based in Manchester. I've been working in the animation industry and with Toon Boom for 13 years. Tired of being generalist, in 2017 I decided to focus in become a full-time rigger. And that big decision brought me to the UK where I had the chance to work on amazing projects. I love learning and experimenting new tools, nodes and methods to make cool and light rigs.

After working for studios in Mexico, Colombia, Canada and the UK for 15+ years, and the last 7 as a Lead Animator, I should confess I'm not really an animator, don't know anything about animation and don't really know what I've been doing all this time, but I've enjoyed the occasional free pizza and beer. Currently working as a Lead Harmony animator at Passion Pictures in London (until they find out, of course).

As a Story Artist, I'm very much someone who would be lost without stories in my life. I grew up in a family of natural born storytellers and entertainers, with bedtime stories that to me looking back, were great storyboard pitches and the introduction to the emotional connection that could be felt through pictures, drawings and great voices. So, I followed what felt natural and spent years sketching, pitching my way to becoming a Senior Story Artist. I believe that if my family had known that storytelling was a job, I am sure they would have all been Story Artists.
