I am a creative with a design background currently working as an Associate Creative Director at Dentsu, based in Los Angeles, CA.
I was born in Brazil to a family that always found unconventional ways to make things work. We even have a special word for that in Portuguese: "gambiarra" (improvising with lots of imagination and minimal resources). This taught me early on that creativity isn’t reserved for the chosen few— it’s a unique perspective on the world combined with the art of making unusual connections.
And so, I’ve been a creative for the last 15 years. At heart, I have a passion for technology, entertainment, and sports, although I've worked with a wide range of brands across social, digital, traditional, experiential, and fully integrated campaigns. I deeply believe in the profound impact that good ideas have on brands and businesses. My north star is to create work that empowers brands to be as amazing as they should be, and I’m committed to doing what I enjoy most: getting my hands dirty while having fun.
