Curious mind in motion, rooted in empathy. Design shaped by movement, play and connection.
About me
I’m a warm, curious and creative person with a deep love for movement, people and design. Adopted from Brazil and raised in Sweden, I’ve always been fascinated by identity and human connection. As the founder of STHLM Parkour, I help people find others to train with and stay connected to the community. Whether I’m designing, illustrating or moving — it’s all driven by curiosity, empathy and the joy of creating something meaningful.

The Invention of Love
A reflective coffee table book exploring love, identity, and the traits we build around it.
The Invention of Love examines how humans have transformed love from a biological instinct into a deeply layered emotional experience. Through illustration and poetic reflection, the book visualizes different aspects of love — from empathy and courage to forgiveness and self-acceptance.
Each artwork is paired with a distinct color-coded system that represents the emotional quality behind it. This design choice helps readers connect visually and intuitively with each theme, mirroring how love itself changes depth and tone depending on perspective and experience.

The Annorlunda Exhibition
An inclusive art event celebrating diversity and empathy through creativity.
The Annorlunda Exhibition was a cultural event created to give emerging artists a platform to explore and interpret the theme “different.” It brought together visual art, music, and performance to promote inclusion and understanding across communities.
Through exhibitions, workshops, and stage acts, Annorlunda highlighted voices from diverse backgrounds — from ethnic minorities and LGBTQ+ creators to artists addressing mental health and body norms. Its signature “glitter culture” encouraged visitors to express themselves freely and connect beyond social boundaries.

STHLM Parkour
Building community through movement and design.
STHLM Parkour started as a simple WhatsApp group to help local traceurs connect and find training partners. What began as a small community chat quickly grew into a city-wide network evolving into an interactive Spot Map where custom-designed icons make it easy to find the right parkour location at a glance.
Today, STHLM Parkour also lives on Instagram, where it highlights local athletes, events, and the vibrant culture of the Stockholm parkour scene. The project continues to grow as a digital ecosystem built on connection, accessibility, and shared passion for movement.
