Growing up in Brasília, a modernist city designed from scratch, was likely a big part of what drew me to design. I landed my first design job before college, when Brasil Telecom found the design and code experiments on my personal website, and that habit of designing and building things myself has stayed with me ever since.

With more than 20 years of experience, I’m currently an Executive Creative Director at TCS Interactive, part of the creative leadership team at its flagship New York studio. Previously, I was a Group Creative Director at R/GA, a Senior Design Manager at Squarespace, and a Senior Art Director at Huge, where I was part of the first team embedded at Apple.

I lead multidisciplinary teams, set the creative bar, and lead the creative behind new business. Lately, I’ve also been helping teams bring AI into how we work and what we deliver.

My work has been recognized by the Webby Awards, Communication Arts, The FWA and Awwwards. I’m a judge for the Webby Awards and Awwwards, have spoken at design conferences and panels, and hold a bachelor’s degree in communication and advertising from IESB in Brasília, Brazil.

I’ve worked with teams in Brazil, London, San Francisco and New York. A few of the brands I’ve had the pleasure to partner with are NYRR, Amtrak, Huntington Bank, U.S. News, NextEra Energy, Mizuho, Verizon, Google, JPMorgan Chase, American Express, MetLife, Moncler, Tonal, Liftoff, Squarespace, Apple, Morgan Stanley, Nespresso and Cartoon Network.
