Multidisciplinary graphic designer and art director with 20 years of experience, specializing in branding, advertising, and visual systems. My approach is shaped by a love for typography and editorial design, and enriched by multicultural experiences from living in Brazil, Portugal, The Netherlands, and the United States.

This boosts my work across industries, from hospitality and sports to beauty and beverages. I’ve worked for brands like adidas, Hilton Hotels, Philips, Ambev, O Boticário, and Oscar Niemeyer Museum.
