I’ve always been passionate about drawing. Back in school, I immersed myself in the world of graffiti and street art, where I earned the nickname “GARI.” This love for art led me to pursue a degree in Design, graduating in 2006. After that, I had the incredible opportunity to live in Portugal, China, and the United States. It was in Boston that I decided to fully dedicate myself to illustration and become a full-time illustrator.

Since then, I’ve worked with companies worldwide, creating mascots and illustrations that help brands tell their stories. Oh, and Thiago is also a pretty cool guy—he’s a father of three, a geek, a black belt in jiu-jitsu, an entrepreneur, and still loves to draw!
