Honored to be the first BLIZZARD employee working abroad. I'm 45 years old and I have 24+ years experience in different fields as advertising, prints, font design, corporate identity, web design, tv, AAA video games and mobile games for clients and projects in Latin America, United States and Europe.

I have worked at GOOD GAME STUDIO ( Hamburg ) as a SENIOR UI ARTIST for an Unannounced AAA game and a variety of mobile games; and at CD PROJEKT RED ( Warsaw ), as a UI ARTIST in the AAA projects THE WITCHER 3 - WILD HUNT and early prototypes for CYBERPUNK 2077.

I’m graduated with honors and my career has been echoed in areas as corporate identity, typeface design (I have created over 20 of them) and especially illustration with works published in several publications.
