Lipe, a graphic designer with a passion for music, has built his career in these two paths simultaneously.

As a designer, he has won several national awards and one international award, which he received in Rapallo, Italy. He has worked for some agencies and later, as a freelancer, provided services to major Brazilian companies.

In the realm of music, his path was shaped by spiritual exploration. He specialized in music for meditation and relaxation. Throughout his career, he has led various wellness retreats, yoga and introspection sessions, healing circles, and meditation practices. He has also performed in numerous solo shows and bands. His primary instruments are the Native American plains flute and the didgeridoo, a traditional instrument of the Australian Aboriginal people. However, like Rafael, he fell in love with the Handpan from the moment he first heard it on YouTube.

In the amazing twists and turns of life, Lipe and Rafael crossed paths to form a partnership based on respect and dedication.

“Joining the Mudra Handpan team as a collaborator and apprentice is an honor. Rafael is a friend and someone I greatly admire. Today, all my personal experience is applied with love and care in every process I am involved in at Mudra.”
