About me

I’m a freelance illustrator from São Paulo, Brazil, currently based in London, UK. Passionate about all things ordinary, I draw inspiration from my surroundings to create illustrations of fun characters inhabiting a kind, optimistic and enthusiastic world, which is embodied in the form of vibrant colours and playful compositions. My illustrations cover people, interiors, food & drinks, travel & relationships.
