His childhood of Legos and sandcastles led him to study architecture, but an adolescence filled with sketches guided him toward illustration. He works halfway between the two professions, as an architectural illustrator. He enjoys drawing, traveling, and chopping vegetables into tiny pieces. He regularly teaches drawing workshops and shares stories on his blog Storysketching and with Urban Sketchers Portugal. He has written articles for Drawing Attention, the monthly magazine of Urban Sketchers, and co-coordinates the Wedding Sketchers along with two fellow artists.
