Interests

Graphic & visual design

A strong passion for visual communication, with an approach that combines creativity and method: designing solutions that balance polished aesthetics with practical function, translating complex concepts into clear, high-impact messages.

Technology innovation & AI

A constant interest in digital evolution and emerging technologies. I follow the development of artificial intelligence and its impact on workflows, dedicating time to exploring new tools that help solve problems faster.

Financial markets

Analysis of financial markets and the geopolitical scenarios that shape the global economy, with a particular focus on cryptocurrencies and Web3 — a fast-moving sector I study to understand its dynamics and real opportunities.

Sport

A core part of my routine: bodyweight training for discipline, basketball and volleyball for personal enjoyment. Not just leisure, but a way to test myself and push past my limits.
