Creative Director at Edelman

About me

I'm originally from a super small city in Brazil called Juiz de Fora, with almost 20 years of experience across a wide range of local and global brands. Since a very young age, I was never afraid of changes and adapting is probably one of my strongest suits. I like to surprise myself and others, especially when I'm challenged to go the extra mile. I worked with many different agencies with different sets of expertise, from Leo Burnett Tailor Made in Brazil to Wunderman Thompson in Dubai and recently hired as a Creative Director Edelman in Ryadh, Saudi Arabia. As an award-winning creative, I'm proud of my work and even prouder of not being an ass kisser. Yeah, it is harder to go that way but that's who I am. I believe that being nice goes a long way. My personal work also includes painting, illustrating, tattooing, furniture design and decoration. Sure more than hobbies, it is also a nice way to shut up my demons for a while so I can sleep in peace...LOL.
