About
Motion designer and CGI artist, I have a huge experience in pipeline production and directing. Coming from a demanding Brazilian market, I became a jack of all trades. I learned a lot of skills, such as editing, animating (2D and 3D), visual effects, design and directing. Count on me to take projects from start to finish and fit on any pipeline.

Voya/City of New York
Apr 2018 – Present
New York
Motion Designer
I am hired by Voya, to work directly in the office for the City of New York. My job consists in creating videos explaining the many kinds of investments a city employee can invest on. I am responsible for understanding the investments myself, write scripts and after the approval with the experts I go forward with the video production, animating, recording footage, editing and directing actors when needed. Occasionally I help in other functions as creating graphic material and drawing comics with the company's mascot. Initially my department was owned by Great West Financial, their contract with the city of New York expired and Voya picked it up.

Responsible for multiple projects at a time. I coordinated teams in order to deliver finished animatics. I would have a call with clients in order to understand their ideas and translate the scripts in movies, from the storyboard to the final product.
