Gonçalo wanted to be one of those people who blew fire and did tricks with swords on the street when he was growing up. Thankfully, his career goals have become a little more aspirational over the years, and he's been working in the also dangerous world of design by juggling with colors, lines, and shapes to amuse the world.
