What is your favorite childhood memory?
Every Sunday morning my Dad would take my siblings and I to buy Cartoon magazines at his favorite newspaper stand. Then we would all get in the car, go to the country club and swim while my Dad would shoot pool with his friends. At the end of the day we would go back home and have this great meal that my Mom prepared. Sundays were always a special day spent with family and friends! :)
What TV show did you enjoy as a kid? Why?
XOU DA XUXA. This was probably the most famous children's show in Brazil and kids used to watch every morning before school (school for little kids started at 1pm). Xuxa ( the TV hostess ) was a very sweet woman that used to sing, play games and in my mind was the most amazing person on earth! I use to wear clothes like her, have my hair done just like hers, sing her songs all day and yeah I definitely wanted to be Xuxa so bad! Thank God it didn’t happen! ;)
What was your favorite toy or game?
Barbie (very original, right?) and play outside with my friends…soccer, volleyball, hide and seek and I loved to bike….I was a very active kid!
What is the best thing you cook or bake?
Brazilian food, especially chicken stroganoff. I love cooking and I’m always trying to cook something new.
What do you do “just for fun”?
I like to go out to new places, try a new beer, new things and dance.
What work would you do if you weren’t in graphics?
I use to tell my Mom I was going to own a store, so sometimes I think I would love to work at a store (my own) and definitely something connected with fashion.
What is the most satisfying part of your job?
Create, create create!
