about

I was born in South Brazil in March 1979, where my family originates, but spent my first decade in Bahia, North Brazil

My family returned to South Brazil when I was a teenager, and I finished school in Canela, where in the early 90’s I started coding and programming courses after school

I started university in 1998, and studied IT for two years, though decided to change and broadening my degree to Communications and Advertising, majoring in Photography

After university, I left Brazil for London late 2004 to study English and to gain practice and experience as a photographer. The idea was to stay a year to learn English, but I ended up staying for 3 years, working as a photographer’s assistant, and doing various photography and IT courses

In 2007, I moved to Barcelona to learn Spanish and do various photography projects and courses. This was meant to be a short stay before returning to London, however, I met my wife and ended up staying for 2 years. In Spain I studied Spanish language and worked as a freelance photographer (for one of the biggest creative agencies in Barcelona) and worked in the IT department of a local Catalan company

I returned to London late 2009, where I now work as a freelance Front End Web Developer and Photographer. And despite the rain and grey weather, I love London and consider this my home!
