I’m a Brazilian-American Creative Director, Art Director & Designer based in Europe, working to all parts of the world.
Born in Rio de Janeiro, I started my career in Branding & Design, then jumped into Advertising doing Print & Film, moved to NY where I dove into Web, Digital and Animation, landed in LA where I ran Global 360º Campaigns, and more recently was focused on Digital Production, Craft, and Innovation, doing a ton of Mixed Reality, Livestreams, Experiential, and Web Experiences. Now, I live in Portugal where I work remotely for agencies, brands and startups from across the globe.
In over 15 years in the industry, I’ve done a bit of everything. From a one-man team working on pitches with strategic thinking, big campaign ideas, design, look & feel and tons of fun comps, to managing production teams of 100+ people across different countries and timezones.
Through the years I've worked for clients such as Disney, Google, Coca-Cola, Samsung, Amazon, AT&T, Canon, SC Johnson, FIAT, Kraft Foods, P&G Pampers, Smirnoff, Lufthansa, 20th Century FOX, and Unilever amongst others and have picked up a few awards like Cannes Lions, Clio, Art Directors Club, The One Show and more.
I am also a partner on the first Caribbean Cannabis Brand, Kaya Herb House based in Jamaica. I helped build the business and brand from scratch and I am still involved as Brand and Creative director.
I’m always looking to learn and work with things I’ve never worked on before and having lots of fun while at it.
