WOW! A WHOLE PAGE JUST ABOUT ME!!! 🫠

Hey there! With over 10 years of experience in the field, I'm currently working as an Associate Creative Director (Art) at Studio A x OLIVER, adidas' global in-house agency for all things digital. During my career, I have been part of big-name companies, such as Ogilvy New York, Alma DDB, and Unilever.

I'm a Brazilian-Italian creative with a passion for cycling, outdoor activities, and exploring new places (I've hit up over 60 countries so far!).

As an ACD and Creative Lead with a hands-on approach, I've had the opportunity to develop and demonstrate leadership skills. I have experience in managing and guiding teams of designers, copywriters, and other creatives to achieve project goals while fostering a collaborative and supportive work environment.

I traded in my law school textbooks, which were often covered in doodles, for a career in design and advertising, and I haven't looked back since. My philosophy? Dive into projects headfirst with a healthy dose of bravery. That's how I've managed to create award-winning work recognized by prestigious entities like Cannes Lions, D&AD, and more.

Let's collaborate to inject some fun and creativity into this crazy world! I would be more than happy to provide you with more information, and encourage you to take a look at my work or just say hi.
