Hey you


I’m a globe-trotting, playlist-crafting creative who can juggle jazz-rap blends with injury claims, flip between polished Portuguese and English, and design a UI system with the same care I’d organize my record shelf.

My life has been popcorned throughout the world: born in São Paulo, yet lived Miami, Denver, Atlanta, and LA—which basically means my identity is a patchwork quilt of cultures, accents, and dinner tables. That constant movement taught me how to observe, adapt, and read a room before I spoke. It also made me deeply curious about how people make sense of the world—through language, design, rhythm, and systems. That curiosity is what drives my work.

I’m equal parts artful and analytical, with a vibe that’s fluid like an easy-ease and sharp like a search string. My camera roll is half UI patterns, half blurry photos of sidewalk graffiti. I collect fonts, Apple products, vintage prints, and the occasional pen I swear I’ll use for sketching (but mostly use to write “call grandma”).

By day, I’m a Senior Visual Designer at R/GA working across brand, product, and systems design. By night, I’m probably making a playlist called something like “existential bops” or rewriting the same substack 5 times.


Let’s chat or swap playlists, yeah?
Beijinhos!





I believe it's imperative people walk around with a child-like sense of wonder. In order to do this, one must learn to feel comfortable trying different things. I, for one, enjoy playing with tools and trying out different hobbies.

Here's a taste of my play time:





See a playlist, send a playlist?

Imagine a jazz bar and club share a wall— these songs are what come of it.

Songs that were sampled and the song that sampled it. All collected and discovered organically by yours truly. Forever a WIP

Ideal for when you're driving alone at night on the highway with the windows rolled down and have a lot on your mind.
A quick study I made of jazz-inspired 90s rap and hiphop tracks 
Need I say more?
Made for when you're hosting a dinner or game night and need something easy that doesn't require much maintenance, attention, or skips.




Additional work — some for pay, some for play.
