I am the son of traditional artists, and my interests from an early age went towards ways of incorporating what they teached me with a multimedia approach. this led me to learn digital animation, illustration and visual effects as part of my graduation at Escola Superior de Artes e Design-Caldas da Raínha.
From 2008 to 2021 I was a researcher at CITI -Universidade Nova de Lisboa where my job was to work in 2D/3D animation, motion graphics, 3D modeling and visualization, tv intros/outros, illustrations, publicity banners and 2D/3D gaming content in the Unity Engine. These clients include the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, Ministry of Education / National Reading plan, Ministry of Health, Fundação Cupertino de Miranda, Ministry of Justice, APS (portuguese association of insurances) amongst others.
