What inspires me to create is a constant need to challenge myself and also to problem solve. Being a designer or creative almost becomes like a lifestyle, because you’re constantly surrounded by challenges and beautiful things and ugly things and you just—you’re always observing the world.
I was born in Brasilia, Brazil, I lived there for, maybe like, three years of my life, very little, and then my parents and I moved to Dominican Republic to the capital Santo Domingo. That’s where I learned English and then I moved to the State where I did high school, so, that crucial time where you’re hitting your teenage years.
Being in a country with my family that doesn’t speak Spanish and my parents don’t really speak English, it was a great experience but it was very difficult.
I mean, I always knew that I had, like, a connection to the arts as a kid drawing and painting. But I never thought, “I’m going to be able to make money out of this.”
When I enrolled in Rhode Island School of Design, also known as RISD, I was first considering doing film and animation.
I ended up choosing industrial design because I wanted to have the flexibility of either doing products or services that were more gears towards people or being able to do something such as set design, which would kind of taking me back into, like, film and video.

激励我创造的是不断挑战自己和解决问题的需要。作为一个设计师或创意几乎成了一种生活方式，因为你总是被挑战、美丽的事物和丑陋的事物包围着，而你总是不断地在观察这个世界。
