I was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, and moved to the U.S. with my family in the late 80's. Graduated from San Jose State University in 2007 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Animation and I've been working in the video game industry since. I have worked at several studios and shipped many game titles. Through the course of my career, I have followed a wide range of art styles and positions in the field even before finding my inspiration and absolute love for Visual Effects.
