Dafheny, who?
Hi, my name is Dafheny and I'm a very artistic girl from Curitiba, ever since I was very young. I started drawing at age 3 and grew up absolutely certain that I would work with art and illustration. Today I can say that my past self was absolutely right.
I graduated in Graphic Design from UTFPR at age 23 and since then I've divided my time between being a designer, an artist, and a teacher. In 2020, during the pandemic, I started teaching illustration online independently, and this effectively became a profession that I still practice today, more than 5 years later.
I believe that art brings us back to a place of humanity and connection with something pure within ourselves, and I love combining the sensitivity and aesthetics of art with the modernity and technology of design.
