Hello

I’m a Brazilian-American creative leader with 20+ years of experience working in the U.S., Brazil, and Europe.

I’ve won every major award multiple times, including Grand Prixes (please scroll down for a full list). I wrote the spot that won the first and only Film Grand Prix at Cannes for a Latin American country.

I’ve also done quite a few things for Nike in Brazil. I’ve put Leica on the advertising map. I’ve worked with Kobe Bryant himself to help build his brand once he retired. I was at Meta for four years, learning how to do cool stuff on their platforms instead of whining about having to show the logo in the first 3 seconds.

That is it, in a nutshell. Thanks for spending time with a guy talking about his work. Obviously, I did not do any of the things above on my own. I love collaborating as much as I hate talking about myself.

A while back, I decided to take a career break to dedicate time to my family and to go back to school. I got accepted to a Master’s Degree program in Philosophy, where I got to exercise my brain muscles differently. (If you’re curious, check my writings on things like AI consciousness, the meaning of life, and the metaphysics of fictional characters.)

I am currently a Group Creative Lead at Translation.
