Brazilian Senior Art Director, safari lover and proud father

I am a creative with over two decades of experience in advertising agencies, holding a degree in Advertising and specialising in Art Direction and Graphic Design at Miami Ad School.

After working at agencies in São Paulo and Recife, I worked as an Art Director at DDB Mozambique, contributing to the agency’s international recognition and growth. I later worked in Portugal before returning to Brazil, where I opened my own agency, which was later expanded to Mozambique. During this period, I created the Social Yearbook, a non-profit personal project focused on giving visibility to social programmes.

I am proud to have worked with great clients such as Standard Bank, Itaú Bank, Nissan, Continental, Vodafone, Svitzer, Vale, ExxonMobil, Yellow Pages, Blue Zone (a Grundfos authorised service partner in Africa), the World Bank, the European Union, the International Paralympic Committee, Oxfam, Doctors Without Borders, UN-Habitat, WaterAid and the Wildlife Conservation Society, among others.

Throughout my career, I have developed campaigns for brands across multiple markets, earning national and international awards, including The One Show, the Loeries Awards and the Colunistas Award, among others.

Currently relocating to Denmark and available for new opportunities.

Thank you for reading.
I hope to see you at a Fredagsbar sometime soon.
