"I first started working as a campaign stylist in Brazil for my own high-fashion website, then moved on to working with other brands and companies. After a few years, I was invited to style a shoot for L’Officiel magazine in Paris. Since then, I’ve been working as a freelancer for several magazines, brands, and individual clients between Brazil and Paris.

Boldness, elegance and on-trend vision are the key drivers of my work. I am completely passionate about fashion and enjoy the diversity of styling. I can adapt my work for any sector, whether fashion, advertising, or entertainment."
