Hi!

My name is JP. I am a very easy going student from Brazil, who loves to make things.

I'm 22. I've spent the last years as a musician, DJ, english teacher, intern, entrepreneur and future electrical engineer.

I am curious and positive, and i have a soft tendency to make instant friends on the road. The only thing i don't like in this world is.. difficult people.

Interests

I enjoy a good discussion about most things, but I play guitar (among a few other instruments) and i run a handmade guitar pedal company in Brazil, so anything related to music works. I also have a very deep passion for product design and visual arts, and i love cooking and the occasional bartending.

I gave a talk at TEDx, which was quite nice. And Jumped on the stage of a Justice DJ-set with one of my best friends.. within the same semester.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love teaching people how to do anything i know how to do. Like Screen printing things (like T-shirts, or posters). Building Guitar pedals. Various useful english topics. Video Editing. Audio recording and mixing, analog or digital. Cooking a couple risotto and pasta recipies. Mixing some drinks.. and the occasional song on the guitar.. To name a few. =)
