As a Brazilian art director, I began my career as an illustrator at a small agency in Natal, Northeast Brazil. Over three decades, my passion for visual storytelling has transformed me into an award-winning art director and graphic designer, privileged to lead creative projects across Brazil, Portugal, Africa, and Canada. I have crafted captivating visual narratives for diverse markets and cultures, constantly pushing the boundaries of creativity. My work has received international recognition, and I’ve had the distinct honour of serving as a juror at some of the world’s most prestigious advertising festivals. This journey has been one of constant evolution, allowing me to pursue my love for creativity while leaving a lasting imprint on the global advertising industry.
• My work has been recognized with more than 40 international awards and distinctions across North America, Latin America, Europe, and Africa. These include Cannes Lions and D&AD, The One Show and Webby Awards (United States), Marketing Awards and AToMiC Awards (Canada), Loeries (Africa & Middle East), El Ojo de Iberoamérica (Latin America), New York Festivals, Clio Awards, A' Design Award (Italy), Lisbon International Advertising Festival (Portugal), Cristal Festival (France), Muse Creative Awards (Canada), Clube de Criação de São Paulo and Colunistas Awards (Brazil), among others.
• Jury to renowned festivals such as New York Festivals, El Ojo de Iberoamérica, AdStar, and others.
