Driven by my passion for illustration, I pursued Design at university and embarked on my career in small studios in Brazil. Following my graduation, I relocated to São Paulo, where I had the privilege of collaborating with industry-leading talents. I proudly contributed to esteemed teams at AgenciaClick, JWT, F/Nazca, and DM9DDB, achieving the honor of being part of the Cannes 'Agency of the Year.' During this period, I also clinched victory in the Cannes Young Lion International Competition.
In 2008, I initiated my international journey at Proximity/BBDO in Canada. Over the past decade, I've dedicated my efforts to agencies in Canada and the US, spearheading integrated campaigns and digital design projects for renowned brands such as Gillette, Oreo, Ford Motors, HP, Land O’Lakes, Freedom Mobile, Shaw Communications, EverBank and Dairy Framer of Ontario.
My work has garnered recognition from prestigious award shows including Cannes, One Show, London International Award, Wave Festivals, El Ojo de Iberoamérica, Webby Award, The FWA, Awwwards, Marketing Awards, Creative Club of São Paulo, and Luzer’s Archive.
My passion lies in applying creativity at scale, an endeavor that requires a blend of creativity, meticulous craft, and a touch of innovation. I prioritize listening and remain perpetually open to learning and collaboration. The opportunity to collaborate with exceptional individuals is a constant inspiration to me. :)
