About I am a Brazilian graphic designer between the Netherlands and Brazil. Books, papers, surfaces and stories ground my main interest in design projects. My background in visual narratives (Non-linear narrative/ Royal Academy of Art, The Hague) and product design (UNESP Bauru) comes from an interest in the materiality of discourses and spatialities. For artistic research projects,  HERE
