PROFILE
Apparel designer
I began my professional career as a designer at the age of 15 in a national surf brand in my state. In less than four years, I joined the design team of the leading brands in the global surf wear scene, such as MCD, Town & Country, and Da Hui, all for Brazilian licenses. Since then, I have enhanced my knowledge in illustration and product development for the entire apparel line in sports brands.
