ABOUT

Hello! I'm a Brazilian Creative Art Director and amateur musician,
living and working in Dubai.

When I was younger, I used to follow my father, a photographer,
on his photoshoots for advertising and I was always intrigued by
the visual concepts and solutions from different creatives. So, I got used
to seeing things from different perspectives. I believe that was when,
without knowing, I became an Art Director.

I'm currently working at TBWA RAAD Dubai as part of the team who
helped the agency to win the title of Agency and Network of The Year 2018
in the most important award of the region, the Dubai Lynx, having contributed
with two Grand Prix and a few more awards with the McDonald's Promoticon
campaign. In 2019 I achieved two more Grand Prix with our campaigns Omo Tag, 
for Omo detergent, and The Predictive Radio Spot, for Nissan AAC Dealership.

At the end of 2018, I was nominated by the BW Report to the Ranking
of the Top 10 Art Directors in the MENA region. 

Previously, I've worked for 4 years at Ogilvy & Mather Rio de Janeiro,
in my hometown, having the opportunity to create 
for big accounts
such as Fanta, Coca-Cola, Glaxo, SC Johnson, OLX, among others.
There I was also lucky to learn from many talented people
and to have my first important achievements in the ad world.

Below you can find some more details, and please, get in touch!
