Since you made it this far
You made it here, so here’s a little more about me.
Brazilian, with Japanese roots. Based in Lisbon.
I grew up in Brazil, spent some time in Paris learning to appreciate good bread and wine, and eventually landed in Portugal — where things move slower, but the sun shows up more often.
I got my first internet-connected computer at 14. It came with two sisters and a three-hour daily time limit, so I used those precious hours to build things: blogs for friends, a very serious Red Hot Chili Peppers fan site, and a website for my teenage hardcore band. We took it very seriously. No one else did.
I later studied design and somehow aced Color Theory while being colorblind. Still one of my favorite contradictions.
My thesis was about immersive digital environments and how augmented reality could make learning a little less painful.
Since then, I’ve worked across design, product and systems, usually trying to make complicated things simpler, clearer and more useful.
Along the way, I’ve been lucky enough to win a few awards, including Cannes Lions and Wave Festival with Next, and to work on projects with Riot Games — despite being much more of a Counter-Strike person.
These days, most of my time is split between playing padel and sprinting after balls that definitely don't deserve that much effort, throwing balls at the park for Lana, and, when things get really exciting, vibe-coding my own to-do list while figuring out how not to ruin dinner.
