"Originally from Foz do IguaƧu, Brasil, I'm an art director residing in Miami, Florida.
I get inspired by everything and everyone that come into my life.
I can't work without insane amounts of coffee or really good music on.
I am passionate about beards and other curious forms of facial hair, great food and traveling to new places ."
