Growing up as an only child, I spent countless hours in my own imaginative worlds—writing comic books, inventing characters, and acting in the school plays whenever I had the chance. Creating stories felt natural to me, even before I knew what form they would eventually take.

Then one day, I discovered 3D animation.

It felt like magic—a perfect blend of creativity and logic that completely captivated me. Suddenly, storytelling wasn’t just something written on paper. It could move, breathe, and exist in an entirely new dimension.

At the time, though, my path looked very different. I had a degree in Advertising and had build a solid career for over ten years working in Marketing. But the pull toward animation never faded. Eventually, I realized I couldn’t ignore it anymore.

So I made a leap.

I moved from Brazil to the UK to pursue a Master’s degree in 3D Animation.

Committing fully to the area that had fascinated me for so long and the country that always had my heart (I have been in love with Scotland /UK since I was 10, but that’s another story).

Since then, I’ve had the chance to work on incredible projects and collaborate with talented artists across the industry.

Today, I’m a Senior Technical Animator at Framestore, where I help create immersive experiences and act as a bridge between Unreal Engine and VFX artists.

Before that, I worked at Ninja Theory, contributing to trailers and core development processes for Hellblade II: Senua’s Saga.

Along the way, I discovered something else I love just as much as creating: sharing knowledge. Through tutorials, courses, and my community, I enjoy helping other artists navigate technical animation, understand tools like Control Rig in Unreal, and bring their characters to life.

Because at the end of the day, the most exciting part of this journey isn’t just creating my own stories—it’s helping others create their own.
