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.

Opening Ceremony / Hypebeast - ‘The Tee’


Agency: DDB NY; North America CCO: Ari Weiss; CCO: Lisa Topol & Derek Barnes; GCD: Cassandra Anderson; CD: Paulo Junger & Rogo Castro: Director: Daniel Soares; Cinematographer: Mika Altskan




Before internet and social media gave people a platform to share their ideas, the t-shirt was the way to express yourself – if you had something to say, you’d say it on a t-shirt.

In times of so many online protests, Opening Ceremony wanted to pay homage to the cotton tee, and remind people of its history of ‘offline’ self-expression and activism, in ‘The Most Powerful Tee’ campaign.

Recognizing that the tee holds an iconic place in fashion history, this collaboration with Cotton celebrated the timeless medium by releasing a limited-edition shirt that came with a marker, only so you could speak your mind up.
