Hi! If you've come this far and don't know me, then I'll tell you a little about my story. But, if you want, feel free to jump straight to my portfolio.
I'm passionate about people and the way they interact with space, and I see the bicycle as a great transformative tool.
I started my academic life in Visual Arts. I graduated from FURG in 2008 and soon went to work with local short film production at Grupo RBS, which opened the doors for me to the audiovisual market, mainly in advertising, where I was a production and objects assistant. In 2013, together with two friends, I opened Vulp Bici Café, a space aimed at urban cyclists. I then started dedicating more time to cycling activism, organizing events, courses, lectures and some teaching materials. I experienced the streets as a cycle messenger and, in the search to better understand cities, I started the Architecture and Urbanism course in 2018. Architecture connects me once again with the arts and with that I resumed the habit of drawing.
