I am a director, cinematographer and motion designer with over 20 years of experience in the audiovisual industry. I co-founded Damnworks, a creative production company where I develop projects that combine video, motion graphics, photography and visual storytelling. My journey began with a degree in Sound and Image from the Portuguese Catholic University, with a specialization in Television and Cinema. Since then, I’ve worked in advertising, urban art, music videos, documentaries, and corporate content, collaborating with major brands. I have both a practical and aesthetic approach, always focused on creating impactful visual narratives – whether in directing, cinematography, or post-production. I’m a visual storyteller driven by powerful narratives, cinematic aesthetics, and attention to detail. I enjoy creating images that go beyond the screen – that communicate, provoke, and remain in memory.
