I was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Lived in New York, Texas, Indiana, São Paulo, and began my career as an advertising copywriter in 1998.
 
In 2005, I joined F/Nazca Saatchi & Saatchi, where I remained for almost 15 years. First as a copywriter, and later as Creative Director. In 2019, I moved to Leo Burnett, Brazil as Creative Executive Vice President.
 
In 2021, I left Leo and joined TBWA/Media Arts Lab as Executive Creative Director for the East Coast office, based in Miami, working solely for Apple.
 
Throughout my career, I worked for brands of different segments, such as Apple, Nike, Google, Fiat, Skol Beer and Guaraná Antarctica (Ab InBev), Trident, Oreo, and Club Social (Mondelez), Leica, Honda, Samsung, Nivea, Bradesco Bank, O Boticário, Sadia (BR Foods), BTG Pactual Bank, Electrolux, Pinacoteca de São Paulo, D&AD Awards, Mizuno, Miami Ad School, Coca-Cola, L’Oréal, TIM, and Claro Mobile.
 
I have worked on countless iconic projects, such as “República Popular do Corinthians” and “Addiction” for Nike; “Allied Brands” for Skol Beer; and “Everything in Black & White” for Leica, alongside my 12-year partner, designer and art director Rodrigo Castellari.
 
I have been recognized with over 400 international and local awards. Including medals at the São Paulo Creative Club, as well as trophies at London International Awards, Cannes Lions, D&AD, The One Show, Clio Awards, ADC, Wave, El Ojo, Ciclope, FIAP, and El Sol.
