About me
Trying something awesome once in a while. I'm Brazilian (and a Portuguese citizen!), 31 and just got moved to Barcelona with my girlfriend. How great is that?! I’ve been working in advertising for 17 years now, 12 of them as Creative Art Director, and what I like more in my work is to think cool things that can bring something good to the world. Or at least, entertain it. During those lot of years I passed by some cool agencies as Y&R, Grey, Pereira & O'Dell, VML, among a few others, and created for clients such as Procter & Gamble Brazil, LG, Latam Airlines (former TAM), Telefonica-Vivo, Bradesco Bank, Jeep, Mercedes, Mini, Fiat, Santa Casa Hospital, Colgate, Palmolive, Schin (beverages), Estadão (newspaper) - among others, listed on my linkedIn. Today I’m working as Freelance Creative based in Barcelona, working projects of anywhere ~ from anywhere ~ in the world. Thanks, internet! And I’m also taking care of Positive Drop, a social startup / NGO that I found to help on the search for immediate blood donors. The bright of my eyes. A very very cool project that I’m passionate about. So the thing is that my whole career happened in São Paulo and right now I'm living in Barcelona. To shake things a little bit and try some new roads that will definitely bring a good experience and improve some skills. Yet, there are two things that I'm keeping in mind - and so should you: 1. I can make a nice work from anywhere in the world having a good internet. 2. Good opportunities are always welcome and great ones can lead to new plans. Well, that was a fresh sum up I think. There's more about me ~ like the fact I’m also a Kung Fu Black Belt! ~ but I think it would be better to talk in person if you were interested to. Let me know. :)
Projects
  • The Positive Drop Project
    The Positive Drop ProjectThe Positive Drop is a social project based on a web-app that searchs for blood donors in case you need. The beauty is that doing that, besides of help people on their most needed time, it also helps the health system on the filling of the blood banks. A big issue in Brazil and other countries with low number of blood donors. Take a look how it works at positivedrop.com and sign up. Because, you never know, right?
  • Porto Seguro Car Insurance
    Porto Seguro Car InsurancePorto Seguro wanted to tell that their car insurance is more than just cover your car. So they opened a job competition for the biggest agencies in Sao Paulo. Great news: we won!
