I’m an Art Director and Photographer from Brazil currently based in Los Angeles, CA. I have lived and enjoyed the world of art and advertising for over 8 years. In 2005, I started my career in Sao Paulo working as an intern for Imainera, a design agency. Working there as a graphic designer, photographer, and art director, I cultivated my passion for design and advertising. I’m very thankful for this experience. In 2008 when I moved to Los Angeles, I began to explore new art mediums and was fortunate enough to meet great designers/friends that steered me in a new artistic direction. Lawrence Azerrad and Frank Maddocks (my mentors!) helped me discover new ways to work with graphic design and the arts. The inspiration I drew from their mentorship propelled me to work with such big names as Warner Brothers Records, Nike, InSync+Bemis, Unknownlab, Nume, State TV, and many others. Today, I’m a Freelancer Art Director in-house studio. For me, design is not just work but a passion that inspires me to see things in a new perspective. hide
