About Me

Despite my pale complexion, I was born and raised in Brazil. I was able to pursue higher education in North America thanks to my family's moral and financial support.
​
I graduated in 2018 from DigiPen and was awarded the Valedictorian medal for my cohort. I was actually second in line to receive the award but the first place guy didn't show up.
​
Originally I wanted to be an animator but quickly realized that I'd never get a job at it being 1) Latina on a visa; and 2) bad at it. So out of desperation I made a last minute shift to tech art. I like it so far, and it helps sustain my cat's lavish lifestyle.
​
If you've never met any other people named Fernanda in North America-- that's actually on purpose. I've made a point of challenging all the other Fernandas to a fight to the death to see who is the strongest remaining Fernanda. I'm actually 8ft tall in real life because of all the other Fernandas I have absorbed.
​
On May 2023 I became a Permanent Resident of Canada, putting an end to 9 years of immigration-related stress :)
