Negativity is the enemy of creativity

” 

David Lynch

I have an MFA in Production Design from the American Film Institute Conservatory in Los Angeles.

 

I'm a Brazilian native who spent many years in the United States before moving to Italy and then England. As a result, I am fluent in Portuguese, English and Italian and speak some Spanish and French.

 

Since moving to the UK, I've worked on various film and HETV projects and picked up numerous skills along the way, including hand-draughting, carpentry and scenic painting. With a BSc in animation, I am comfortable with technology, know CAD and the Adobe Creative Suite, and can even wrangle a spreadsheet.

 

Before joining the film industry, I was a newspaper reporter, researching and writing thousands of articles and creating videos.
