I'm a half-Japanese, half-braziliam, born and raised in São Paulo, Brazil. When I was a kid, I was all about sports, drawing, and building Legos. But my real love was spending my whole day playing video games or watching anime, and not much has changed since then.

What I do now:
I've been working in the field of UX for five years. I'm currently a Lead Product Designer at 23 Games, where I get to design immersive experiences for gamers.

What I used to do:
I went to Humanities School in Brazil and got my BA in Philosophy with a major in Philosophy of Psychology and Cognitive Science.

Where I'm now:
Today, I live in Leesburg, Virginia. When I'm not working, you can find me gaming, hanging out with my dog, Tony, or exploring new and delicious foods at restaurants (often with Tony too).

What I'm looking for:
Impactful, purposeful work with a diverse team of talented people.
