About

I am really passionate about working in UI/UX Design, 3D Modeling and Game Design. I am always learning how design can make people interact better with digital user interfaces, products and games.

I have worked in Brazil as a creative director for agencies and in Blue Collar Companies as well as doing free lance designing. As a free lancer I had an international career working in Oxford, UK and in Silicon Valley, California - US. I had awards include Ibest 1998 - Top 10 Web design and many Ibests awards for my children's website Guri.

My first job was as an art assistant in 1992 making Paste up design, a method of creating or laying out publication pages that predates the use of design Desktop Publishing programs. Living this transition from Paste Up to Desktop Publishing is an important feature of my experience as a designer.

I have more than 20 years of experience in graphic, motion and web design working with Adobe (Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, Dreamweaver, Premiere and After Effects), 3D Studio Max and a variety of other graphic programs and applications

I'm looking for work, free lancer in The United Kingdom, United States, Canada or Australia.
