My story
After studying architecture in Lisbon, I went on to study animation and direction at Supinfocom France and graduated with honours for the award winning short film Guerre Naive (also chosen by Dreamworks as a part of the selection for "year’s best animation from around the world").
Started working in Paris as a Generalist at Cube Creative and Wizz, and soon after I was called to London to design the look of the backgrounds for a new Cartoon Network show - which would become the award winning 'The Amazing World of Gumball' - on which I also worked as Lead Designer and Supervisor in the Background Department.
Since then I’ve worked with such companies as Disney, Netflix, The Line, Nexus, ETC, High Scream, Orange, Painting Practice, Vodafone, Enchufada Records, GWR and others.
