Ciao ragazzi! Tiago is my name, modelling is my game. I am 19 years old, young in heart and spirit, originally from Washington DC then moved to Portugal and now back again in Philadelphia.

For the last few years, I've been a freelance artist with a so-called "pseudo-cubist style", deeply inspired by the brilliant Picasso and Toulouse-Lautrec, and nowadays experiment with Graphic and Web design.

My interests are diverse, ranging from kayaking, scuba-diving, weight-lifting, dancing, painting to Italian, Portuguese, French, Marketing, Advertising and, of course, MODELLING!

I chose to get into fashion business to explore my creative side and challenge my persistence, self-confidence and Marketing capabilities - practically attempting to see how far I can get. Fortunately, my friends have also been inspiring, saying that I have a distinct "Lenny Kravitz-Johnny Depp" look! I am ambitious, with honors in the International Baccalaureate and currently study in the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania as a Marketing/Finance major.

All my life I've been striving for originality, innovation and try to milk out any experience I have to develop a strong character and impressive resume.

Now I hope to model in Philadelphia and NY, finish my studies, display my artwork in galleries then later get into the advertising business in Milan.

For everyone that keep their heads up after a painful struggle and strive wholeheartedly for their dreams - I praise you!

J Buona fortuna e un futuro pieno di felicità!
