I love getting to know people and hearing their stories. Stories are the universal language that we all speak – they bring us together and break down the walls between us. I’m originally from Brazil and became an American citizen in 2019! I have a bachelor’s degree in Architecture and Urbanism, but transitioned to the Graphic Design/Branding world shortly after graduating in the early 2000s. The design projects I worked on early in my career required collaboration with photographers, and that’s when my interest in photography sparked and blossomed. I invested in my first professional DSLR camera, and the rest is history! Now, I draw on the full range of this multi-faceted professional background to create compelling photographic stories for my clients.
