Hello, you.

I’m an associate creative director, born and raised in Brasília, Brazil. Now, in Portland, OR.

In my work, I always try to start from real truths — both about the client and the people we’re trying to connect with. I enjoy finding ways to express those truths in ways you instantly recognize, but have never seen framed quite like that before. The kind of idea that makes you laugh/cry, feel seen, and, if everything goes as planned, share it in a group chat.

I’m drawn to humor, technology, and highly crafted work. I consider myself a resilient, prolific creative who enjoys developing strong concepts and adapting them across different platforms and channels without losing the heart of the message.
