I’m an independent Creative Director and Filmmaker based in New York. I’m Portuguese, was born in Germany and have been living in the US since 2013. I strive to create meaningful projects that positively impact people’s lives. I mostly fail. I’ve worked for places including Wieden+Kennedy, Droga5, VICELAND, Anomaly, Mother and many others. Someone also thought it was a good idea to let me teach at Miami Ad School and Berghs School of Communication. My work has won some shiny trophies, was exhibited at the International Center of Photography and featured on ABC News, The Guardian, MTV, Buzzfeed and Nowness. I'm obsessed with people, their quirks, passions, and dreams. The weirder, the better.

How I got my first job in Advertising (Kind of a video)






I look back at this first video of mine and think it’s crap. Horribly shot on a phone and poorly edited. At the same time, I love it. Why? Because it gave me my first job in advertising. Because it worked, and because it reminds me all the time that when you put your heart into it, you can achieve great things. Portuguese TV station TVI aired it on prime time and I was invited to talk about it at several places.
