Hello friend,
I'm an art director and creative director with 14 years of experience who likes to bring to life ideas that have integrity and add something to the world as well as to clients. The work I helped creating won some shiny trophies like Cannes Lions (the one with ads), Clio’s and ADC Cubes. I've worked in Portugal, Germany, Argentina and the USA, and since 2017 I've been helping agencies and brands tell stories as a freelancer. Since then I've also been working on films that I write and direct, some of which have premiered and won awards at film festivals such as Cannes Film Festival (the one with movies), Telluride and Clermont-Ferrand. I currently divide my time between writing and directing my personal work and freelancing in advertising on projects I believe in.
If you have a project in mind and think I could be a good fit, get in touch and let's work together!
