Writing
Books, poems, essays, and serialized stories.
Behold: Life Beyond Grief
My first book, published in 2022.
A collection of short poems and illustrations about infertility, failed adoptions, grief, and self-acceptance. It traces the experience of wanting a life that does not arrive as expected, and learning to meet myself without making my worth conditional on the outcome.
This book was the inspiration for my first music EP, Quiet Revolutions.

the answers are always

From the Beginning
A memoir series built from a diary I kept in 1998, when I was eighteen and living in a small town in Brazil.
Years later, I opened it again. The entries brought back the girl I was, the people around her, the stories she created, and the questions she was already trying to answer.
Alongside the writing is a companion album, giving voice to my teenage self and the characters from those pages. Listen to their side of the story.
Lu’s Story
A completed nine-part fantasy series about Lu, a fox who can cross between worlds, searching for her scattered family in a land divided by the Harsh Winds.
Each chapter has its own song and AI-assisted illustration. Through burning libraries, poisoned springs, and islands cut off from one another, Lu keeps returning to the same question: how do you remain gentle when fear has made everyone suspicious of one another?
The writing, lyrics, and visual direction are mine; AI tools helped bring the music and illustrations into form.
Notes
My LinkedIn bi-weekly newsletter about the decisions behind a brand, the reality of creative work, and how to use new technology without handing over your judgment.
A note on collaboration
This work is personal, but I am occasionally available to bring this part of my practice into the right project.
Figments of Creativity
The essays, poems, and series continue there.
