A Brazilian living in Boston with an appetite for culture and a passion for music. An uncommon blend of creativity and goal-driven pragmatism.

My creative journey began at age 20 when I created an Aerosmith website for Brazilian fans like me. With passion and a self-taught skillset, Aeroworld.com.br was a huge success! That experience led me to pursue a career in Graphic Design and improve my skills as a creative and leader capable of managing a team.

I’ve worked at large agencies for a couple of years, where I discovered the momentous importance of coffee in our lives!

And from 2014-2018, I’ve had my own agency, AWT Design.

But after many years of working in the design industry, it was time to really develop my creative senses and get out of my comfort zone.

That being said, hello! Welcome to my world.
