I was born in Salvador/Bahia,
a colorful and tropical city in Brazil, where Michael Jackson recorded the video clip "They Don’t Care About Us".
I started my career 16 years ago
in some of the biggest agencies there.
After moving to São Paulo I had
the pleasure of working for great agencies like TBWA, Leo Burnett,
J Walter Thompson and CP+B for several global brands such as Ford, Adidas, Gatorade, Coca Cola,
Stella Artois and Nissan.
During the pandemic,
I decided to explore the world
by working on special projects
for international agencies
and connecting with amazing people without leaving home. 
After 9 great years in São Paulo,
I got an invitation to move to Amsterdam and joined TBWA Neboko’s team, where I had the opportunity
to work on global projects for Adidas.
Thanks to all of this, I had the joy
to see some of my work recognized by important creative awards like D&AD, Cannes, One Show, Clio,
Lia and among others.
Now, I'm in London, working at FCB for Škoda, trying to adapt to a new routine, new tea diet, and new traffic direction.

Thank you for your time ;)
