Visual journalist at Nucleo and freelance dataviz designer
Master's student in design at EBA-UFRJ and researcher at LabVis
My work consists of finding ways to explain and visualize complex concepts and data through clear and
understandable charts, diagrams, maps, and illustrations.
I hold a graduate degree in Journalism from PUC-SP (Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo) and work
mainly with GIS cartography, Adobe Suite and R Stats — but I’m interested in finding the tools necessary for
each task.
In the past, I've been responsible for dataviz and infographics at Nexo
Jornal, produced video stories at Estadão and
collaborated with dozens of outlets and institutions, such as The Intercept, Piauí, Brazilian Report,
Greenpeace, and more.
Currently I work as a visual journalist at Nucleo,
an independent outlet investigating Big Tech, and research the representations of the climate crisis in data visualization at my Master's at
EBA/UFRJ (Federal University of Rio de Janeiro's School of
Fine Arts) and with LabVis/UFRJ.
Here you'll find a selection of projects I've worked on with talented professionals along the way — full
credits in links. I take on freelance and commissioned projects, so feel free to reach out!
