Fabio Luis Amaral
I am a web developer, 3D designer, video editor and electronic music producer, also involved with game development, augmented reality, audiovisual performance, deejaying and any digital upcoming technology that can produce sounds or images.
In 1997, after two years studying at the Federal University of Engineering in Itajubá, I decided to move to São Paulo and I started my graduation at ESPM — Superior School of Marketing in São Paulo, which I would finish in 2001.
While at ESPM, I became part of the internal TV and added to my CV an extension course in Typography and Graphic Design and some short courses in video, post production, direction, and I produced a short movie.
Since my graduation I have been constantly working and studying digital media as described below in my job experience. Having always my personal, art and music projects running together.
