Originally from Portugal I have been living in Ireland since 2009.
I’m a full time Children’s Book Writer and Illustrator with 14 years experience working in the Animation Industry for shows like The Amazing World of Gumball for Cartoon Network and Wander Over Yonder for Disney XD.

I held various positions in the roles of Animation Director, Episodic Director and Storyboard Artist but I’m very grateful to have been working full time in my kidlit dream job for the past few years .
My most recent book is called "B is for Bananas" written by Carrie Tillotson (Flamingo at Penguin Random House, April 2023).
Future releases:
“When an Elephant Hears No” written by Dazzle Ng (PageStreet Jan 2024),
“Walkies“ my debut picture book as an author/illustrator (PageStreet Kids, May 2024)
and “Happy Christmas, Dears Mars” written by Penny Parker Klostermann (Henry Holt, Fall 2024)
I'm currently happily illustrating and finalizing:
a new sequel picture book for Page Street Publishing (Winter 2024)
a fun Taco filled book with Clarion - HarperCollins (2025)
and a picture book for Kiwi Co !
