I’m a creative director working across brands, campaigns, and products. I combine an art direction background with hands-on product development, using AI-assisted workflows to take ideas from concept to launch.

What connects the work is an interest in making something worth people’s attention—whether that is a campaign, an interactive experience, or a useful product.

/ Now
I build independent products and work with partners on creative direction, brand development, and product experiences.

Bootleg Stub helps fans document, explore, and share their life in football—connecting the matches, stadiums, and people that make it theirs, from their first game to their latest away day. ScamAtlas brings scattered travel-scam information into location-specific guidance.

Across these projects, I shape the concept, identity, and user experience, using AI-assisted development to take ideas through to working products.

Different approaches, same principle: give people something worth their time.

/ Before that
I started in advertising in Brazil in 1999 and moved to the U.S. in 2007. My career took me through Goodby Silverstein & Partners, R/GA, BBDO, Hudson Rouge, and Arnold, followed by nearly eight years in-house at Verizon, leading integrated campaigns through 2025.

Interactive, film, print, product, music. Working across mediums is why I default to integrated thinking.

Currently working on:
• Bootleg Stub — in soft launch
• ScamAtlas — live, growing
• Open to independent creative direction, product work, and advisory
