the weewoo world
I was born in a very little country between Brazil and Argentina called Uruguay, but love and circumstances took me to France.
I’m a globe-trotter (or at least I used to be before being a mom!) and I’ve been to many extraordinary places like Vietnam and Thailand, I’ve walked my way to Machu-Picchu and I’ve done the pilgrimage of Santiago de Compostela.
Since I was a little girl I’ve been fascinated with characters, design and music. I started playing guitar when I was 9 years old, but later in life I discovered the ukulele and felt in love with its sound! I also love to sing.
I studied Industrial Design and 3D but later I found my real passion in 2D animation. There is something about bringing characters to life that just fascinates me. I love my work and that makes me feel so lucky!
As a mother of a little girl and as an adept to yoga I was just thrilled when the WeeWoo team contacted me and told me about their project. It’s all about joy and what’s good in life! and I’m more than happy to bring alive this beautiful world they have created.
In her survival kit :
My cappuccino in the morning (I literally can’t start the day without it!), radio (I hear a lot of uruguayan programs, I need to rest connected with my country) and my notebook (I’m old school! I need to write it down in order to think better.
Her mantra :
If we’re going to do something, let’s do it right!
