I was born and raised in São Paulo and currently living in Barcelona.  I’m a speaker of english 🇺🇸 (C1) , español 🇪🇸 (C1), of course (brazilian!) português 🇧🇷 and i’m also learning el català .

I’m a creative who became an art director working in advertising agencies since 2018, driving social media growth and branding/campaigns developing for major brand accounts like Netflix, Mercado Livre,  BuzzFeed, C&A, Google, Nike, Honda and Coca-Cola.

I love exchanging my knowledge about culture, society, and consumption with everything that involves art and advertising.

 Bluesman


The album 'Bluesman' explores issues of national inequality and oppression, and it needed more than a traditional music video to empower the message and unify audiences.

Three songs from the album are scored into a cinematic short film, applying universal themes of growing up, growing old, faith, family and friendship, to engage all viewers in the pursuit of equality and peace.

 







Mercado Livre:
Black Friday 2023

The campaign made by GUT São Paulo and executed on social media by Agência Ginga has appropriated the symbol of a closed deal, which is also the logo of Mercado Livre 🤝,  to distribute massive discounts through capturing handshakes on the biggest television network in Brasil, Globo. 






Mercado Livre


I have selected some jobs that I did for several campaigns
for Mercado Livre at Agência Ginga, always having in mind
the most trendy, beautiful and engaging ways to create it.











Netflix: Sintonia


Sintonia is about a group of friends, Doni, Nando and Rita, that grew up together on the outskirts of São Paulo sorrounded
by funk, drugs, violence and religion. They follow totally differents paths, but always look to each other for help.




Netflix: Social Media Stunts


I was invited to work again with Netflix creating content for some shows on social media. The brazilian Instagram account surpassed the original U.S network and has over 32MM followers against 31MM.

That's brazilian power.

Many of these are the most watched shows in the country – 
or even the world.

I've listed some of my favorites.



BuzzFeed Brasil


For three years, we brought and spread brazilian culture 
to the internet in the form of articles and quizzes.







 C&A: Rhythms of Brasil


The “Ritmos do brasil” collection is special because it featured
the new C&A brand identity created by Wieden+Kennedy,
including the tagline “Muito eu” and following it’s concept,
the campaign shows that each clothing style brings an unique mood to the wearer, and they were represented through Brazilian musical genres.
