After honing his artistic craft, Caio went to other animation studios and worked on television series for major stations such as Disney Jr. (Dino Aventuras), Cartoon Network (Oswaldo), Nickelodeon (PapayaBull, Tainá), Tv Cultura, and Discovery Kids (Micro Adventures of Tito and Muda). He has also collaborated as an illustrator for major publishers such as Abril and Editora Moderna.

He is currently a freelance illustrator and works from home for animation studios, so he can spend more time learning and working on his personal projects.
