I was born in Funchal, in the island of Madeira, Portugal. I lived in Machico, studied in the computing area, and completed the bachelor’s degree in Interactive Media Design, in the University of Madeira. In 2017, I moved to Lisbon and completed the master's degree in Animation Arts by 2020, in Universidade Lusófona de Humanidades e Tecnologias de Lisboa. In 2023 I completed the Re:Anima - European Joint Master in Animation. I was part of the directors in 5 animation short films (Past-It, Duality, Dandedog, Rising in a Spiral and O Levadeiro), did compositing on the animation short film Cellfie, and worked of the feature animation film Nayola, contributing with animation, inbetweens and clean-up. 2D and 3D animation are my favourite animation styles and I am also used to work in clean-up and compositing. I have worked mostly in 2D animation and I know how to work in several softwares for that purpose, such as (but not limited to) Toon Boom (Storyboard Pro and Harmony) and After Effects, and I've used Blender mostly for 3D projects, even though I have mostly done 3D animation or some procedural modelling and not much of manual modelling. I also am fast at adapting and learning new softwares or techniques and I am motivated to do so for what might be needed, even for the skills that I haven't listed before, as I want to develop more skills and understanding in the making of animation films so I have a broader sense and/or vision as an animation director.
