HI, I'M RAFA!

It pronounces like 'Ha-fa', with the 'R' at the beginning sounding like an English 'H'. 



I'm an Art Director and Character Designer based in São Paulo/Brazil, working worldwide on a variety of projects. I'm also co-founder of GUMI, an indie studio focused on game development and game visuals.

I strongly believe that each piece of art should be handled with care, dedication and genuine intent, so it can result in something truly unique and special.

I'm sure we can create the coolest things together! Please contact me at:
