Art from the heart—rooted in culture, inspired by nature, and guided by mindfulness.

I'm an illustrator and designer with a lifelong passion for creativity. I discovered my love for art in third grade, and that spark has only grown brighter over the years. To this day, whenever I talk about creativity, my hand instinctively goes to my heart—it's that personal to me. ❤️

Born in São Paulo, Brazil, to a Colombian mother and Dutch father, I’ve always been inspired by culture, connection, and travel. My work reflects the things I care most about: nature, continuous learning, a balanced life, adventure, plant-based living, and mindful practices like yoga and meditation. These influences shape both my creative process and the stories I aim to tell through my art.
