CG GENERALIST / LIGHTING ARTIST
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Summary

Hi, I'm an award-winning CG generalist, but now I’m specializing in Lighting.
I’ve been working for a long time for tv channels, advertising agencies, film companies, and VFX houses.
On a few jobs as a freelancer, I worked mostly as a CG generalist for studios like Tendril, MK12, Visorama, Kite and Lightning, and Los York, on promos for VW, Pepsi, Coca-cola, Duracell, Activision, Fiat/Chrysler, HP, etc.
I am a resilient person, capable of keeping a positive attitude toward huge challenges. I love to find solutions on tight deadlines and I´m very organized (i can adapt fast to any workflow - “I also know shotgun”)
I enjoy 3d art a lot. I do 3d modeling (hard surface), shading, lighting, character animation, figure drawing, storyboards, and 3d sculpture (cartoony). I study game design, photography, cinematography, writing, and VR in my free time.
