I'm a Lettering Artist and Type Designer, currently based in Lisbon, Portugal.
My world revolves around letters of all shapes and sizes, in all mediums and colours. Attracted to everything related to typography, from typefaces and logos to murals and calligraphy, I constantly challenge myself to work with different materials, scales and styles.
