With close two decades of experience in the advertising industry as a multidisciplinary Integrated Art Director/ Lead with international experience in Brazil, the Middle East, and the USA.
I've led award-winning creative campaigns with diverse teams, delivering impactful solutions that drive business results and social change.

My work has been recognized by awards such as Cannes Lions, The One Show, ADC, D&AD, Clio, LIA, Cresta, ANDY, Dubai Lynx, Effie, and Loeries. I have been ranked Creative Director at The One Show, ADC, and D&AD, and was honored as the #1 Illustrator in the Middle East and #21 Worldwide at One Show.

I am dedicated to merging art, creativity, and strategy with powerful storytelling to create meaningful experiences that inspire and engage.


I’m currently at ©R/GA NYC.
