✺ Fearless immersion
at work

+ +

My journey in the advertising world has been shaped by my passion for storytelling, art, and creativity. As an Integrated Art Director and Lead, I've had the unique opportunity to work across Brazil, the Middle East, and the USA, collaborating with diverse teams to create campaigns that not only achieve business success but also contribute to social change—something I deeply believe in.

The recognition my work has received, including awards like Cannes Lions, The One Show, ADC, D&AD, Clio, LIA, Cresta, ANDY, Dubai Lynx, Effie, and Loeries, has been humbling. I’ve also had the honor of being ranked as a top Creative Director by The One Show, ADC, and D&AD, and being named the #1 Illustrator in the Middle East and #21 Worldwide by The One Show.

At the core of everything I do is a commitment to blending creativity and strategy with powerful narratives to craft experiences that truly resonate and inspire. I’m driven by the belief that great ideas can make a meaningful difference in the world, and that’s what keeps me pushing boundaries every day.
