I was born, raised and live in Lisbon, Portugal.
I'm an illustrator and I love making picture books.
I graduated in Multimedia Art - animation, at the Faculty of Fine Arts of Lisbon. I complemented my studies with the Illustration and Comics course at Ar.Co - Centro de Arte e Comunicação Visual.
I really like dreaming, drawing and illustrating my books, running (a lot!) and eating chicken.
