I’m a Brazilian/Japanese designer based in São Paulo.

I love working with people smarter than me. I was always a news nerd and, for me, working in journalism is also designing for social good, which is something I deeply care about. I’ve been working in newsrooms since 2017, doing all sorts of things: collages, illustrations, UI… But DataViz is my true love 💞

Some other facts

I spent some time in Barcelona in 2012 then went to school in Chicago. Moved to New York City after I graduated and eventually came back to Brazil, but this time to São Paulo. I’m never afraid of moving and I love exploring.
