Belo Horizonte, Brazil
Almost graduated product designer o/
´ve been learning for some time in Korea (the south one you know), seeing some robots, cars, ffw techs and the crazy lights of the cities.
But my soul remains from Brazil. My passions have always been UNDERSTANDING PEOPLE, ARTS, MATERIALS and some engineering I must confess. (Yes, I was that weird of a child)
