I was born in the Amazon, and although I have lived in the US for the last nine years, Brazil is on my mind and heart. I love arts, acting, dreaming. I study yoga, run way too much, and photograph everything my eyes see. Independent movies are my passion and volunteering my necessity. I appreciate traveling and feel lucky to have seen a few beautiful places in this world. I've studied fashion design, theater, photography, and now I am actively working as a web and graphic designer. Design is about ideas, and when it comes to creativity, I believe that the less resources you have the more creative you get. When you don't have much, you have to make the most out of what you have—as simple as that. I am sentimental, dramatic, miss my dear parents and brother, and wish always the best because, in the end, life is just a wonderful journey.
