Hello and welcome!
People and things change, so no wonder why we love innovation. I’m always thrilled to understand what pushes human emotions and reactions and how we transform in a personal and collective level, we are simultaneously so complex and simple.
You will find in my portfolio a wide range creative projects from very technical designs to more artistic ones, or even a blend of both. I’m very happy to share my work and collaborations, so keep on going, enjoy the ride, and let me know when we start the job!

I always try to be involved in many extents of the product design from conceptualization, design testing, technical solution to manufacture and even sales/marketing.
Most of my work is the Toys, Games and Premium product design, from the product itself to packaging and instruction guides.
Interior design for commercial spaces and home furniture are one of my most recent spinoffs.
Premiums are one of the best ways to promote your brand, most of these are give-away or trade products that match with your specific marketing goals and budget. The manufacturing of the product is often done with business partners that help with financial credit, logistics and quality practices.
The graphic design of a product is as important as the rest, I like to experiment in order to achieve interesting innovation.
Exhibition and point of purchase design. Make your brand outstand in trade fairs and shops!
Packaging design services from bottles, boxes and blisters to flow packs, product renders and layouts. The design may also consider material optimization and volume studies.
Many designs with mechanical attributes may need the use of animation to fully understand the function and complete looks. Basic story boards, and rigging may take place in some animations and sometimes this has been applied for video projects.
Bag piper and music composer. Collaborations and recordings have been done with many other artists. Special themes and jingles have been composed for several toy products.
Painting and free hand drawings are one of my first creative approaches to art.
