About
I started in graphic design. Today I build what I design.
I'm a Design Engineer at Studio Visual, where I've designed products since 2014 for brands like SKY, Kumon, Serasa Experian and Roche. The back end used to be my wall, and AI took it down: today I take products from idea to production. AniVagas is live to prove it.
