About

Hey, I'm Felipe! For the last 15+ years, I’ve been designing expressive, story-driven characters and illustrations for games, toys, and publishing. I love blending clean stylization, bold shapes, and vibrant colors to create art with a sense of playful storytelling. Over my career, I've partnered with global studios to bring their worlds to life, always taking pride in being a reliable and collaborative part of the team.

But I'm not always in the studio! Whenever you don't find me at my desk drawing crazy characters, I am out in the wild chasing animals with my camera or backpacking around the mountains.

Let's talk!
