 WORK    AWARDS    ABOUT

Global Creative Director / CW with 14+ years of experience collaborating with some of the world’s best brands. Currently based in Brazil working as Senior Creative Director at AMARO, a pioneering RetailTech and lifestyle brand. 


Before to moving to the brand side, I spent over a decade working in creative agencies across Brazil, USA and Japan. Most recently, prior to joining AMARO, I worked as Creative Director for Nike and YouTube at AKQA Tokyo; as Senior Creative at Sid Lee LA; and as Creative Director at CUBOCC (now SOKO).

For the past 14 years, I’ve been collaborating with world-class brands to help them push their creative boundaries, aiming to develop meaningful brand campaigns and projects that can help move the world forward. I’m passionate about developing culturally relevant work that starts a dialogue, build communities, and have a real impact on people’s lives.

Throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate enough to have my work recognized by some of the most important festival around the globe, including D&AD, Clio Awards, The One Show, The Webby Awards, Spikes Asia, among others.

Currently, I am the Senior Creative Director at AMARO, a pioneering RetailTech and lifestyle brand based in Brazil. At AMARO, I’m responsible for the brand communication across all channels and platforms, leading the creative strategy with the Marketing VP and leading a large team (20+) of talented creatives, stylists, photographers, and producers, crafting the creative work and the brand voice in all touch points.
