Hello! I'm Pedro Velasquez, a Brazilian Creative / Art Director with Portuguese Citzenship, currently based in Brazil and working as a freelancer.

During my young days, I used to follow my father, a photographer, on his advertising photoshoots. I was always fascinated to witness creative ideas come to life through his lens and intrigued by the visual concepts coming from different creatives who passed by his studio. I believe that was when without knowing it, I started to become an Art Director.

I started my advertising career as a Digital Art Director in a local agency in Rio de Janeiro before joining Ogilvy Brazil, where I learned from talented industry leaders and achieved my first awards in advertising.


In 2016, I ventured to Dubai and joined TBWA Raad becoming part of an amazing team that helped the agency win the title of Agency of the Year at the Dubai Lynx and reach the top spot in the Cannes Lions regional ranking.


In 2021, I obtained my Portuguese citizenship and traded the Arabian Desert for the Swiss Alps, working at Farner, a multidisciplinary consultancy agency, before returning to TBWA in Zurich to work with some cool clients like IKEA and McDonald's.

After almost 7 years abroad, I decided to go back to my roots in Brazil and have time to explore the life of an independent creative, working on a freelance basis. 

If you've made it this far and didn't get bored, feel free to reach out for a coffee, a call, or just shout out on LinkedIn to stay in touch :)
