He graduated with a degree in Mathematics from New York University and played professional soccer in Brazil for a year, between high school and college.

About the project
‘At the core, a Louis Vuitton trunk was made for travel, adventure and exploration. What if the trunk was the actual means of exploration: hop in your trunk and travel the world! I have always loved the freedom and tangibility of hot air balloons, it feels like something you could make. There is something magical about hot air balloons in that you don't know exactly where the wind will take you, but you are on for the ride.’
