01 / About

Who I am

Web developer, 3D designer, video editor and electronic music producer — involved with game development, augmented reality, audiovisual performance, and any digital technology that can produce sounds or images.

For more than two decades, I've been turning ideas into interactive experiences, combining creativity, technology, and a passion for game development. My journey began in the early days of pixel art and indie game creation, eventually evolving into full-scale game design, development, and digital production.

As the founder of PixelLab and Pixel Freak Games, I specialize in crafting engaging games, immersive digital experiences, and high-quality web solutions. My work spans game design, programming, UI/UX, visual design, and interactive technologies, always with a focus on delivering polished products that balance creativity with performance.

Throughout my career, I've collaborated with startups, established businesses, and independent creators, helping transform concepts into successful digital products. Whether building games, developing custom applications, or designing modern websites, I enjoy solving complex challenges through innovative thinking and clean execution.

I'm driven by curiosity, continuous learning, and the belief that great design and technology should work seamlessly together. Every project is an opportunity to create something meaningful, memorable, and enjoyable for users around the world.

Background

In 1997, after two years studying at the Federal University of Engineering in Itajubá, I moved to São Paulo and began my graduation at ESPM — Superior School of Marketing, finishing in 2001.

While at ESPM, I joined the internal TV team and added an extension course in Typography and Graphic Design, plus short courses in video, post-production, and direction — and produced a short film.

Since graduating I've worked and studied digital media continuously, always keeping personal art and music projects running alongside professional work.
