About

I’m an award-winning Brazilian Senior Art Director and Designer with over a decade of experience creating campaigns for global brands like Heineken, Guinness, Domino’s, and L’Oréal. I love ideas that tell stories and visuals that move people. My work is where design meets storytelling—thoughtful, bold, and culturally relevant.

Having worked across Brazil, Portugal, and the Netherlands, I bring a collaborative spirit and a drive to create work that truly resonates. Whether it’s big campaigns or social assets, I enjoy crafting stories that connect and make an impact.
