HEY ︎︎︎

I’m a designer & art director born in a city at the border between Brazil and Argentina that sounds like Uruguay - called Uruguaiana.

Somehow I moved from there to London, where I’m currently based and working at HAVAS.

I started my career 10 years ago and had the luck and privilege to do award-winning work for brands like Nivea, Hyundai, Budweiser, Heinz and Netflix.

I believe that beautiful and accessible design can be a powerful storytelling tool for brands and services.
