Thanks for stopping by.
I’m a Brazilian Art Director, based in London, UK.
I build ideas for people and brands through storytelling, design, craft, and a probably unhealthy obsession with details.
I’ve spent 15+ years working across the world’s most creative markets, which basically means I’ve spent a lot of time in windowless rooms asking how to make an idea sharper, stranger, or funnier. I believe a good idea needs a strong strategic spine, but the best ones usually come with a stupid little hat.
Along the way, I’ve made campaigns for global brands, learned from some extremely brilliant people, and picked up some surprisingly nice recognition.
I love working with people who care a little too much. People who share the same obsession with all the tiny choices that make the work better for no good reason other than it should be.
If that sounds like your kind of problem, I’d love to chat.
I’m also somewhat related to CR7.
