What I'm looking for

I’m looking for roles where I can lead art direction and creative strategy—building powerful brand identities and driving visual communication across digital and physical experiences. I’m energized by cross-functional collaboration and measurable, global-ready creative execution.

I’m a creative professional with 15+ years leading Art Direction and Creative Strategy in top multinational agencies such as Sancho/BBDO and DDB Worldwide. I combine creative vision with strategic execution to deliver impactful results for both global and local brands.

Since 2012, at DOKKO STUDIO / Senior Creative Director (Project Director), I’ve transformed brand strategies into cohesive physical and digital spaces, spearheading multi-industry campaigns across social, immersive retail, custom signage, and commercial interiors. I lead brand strategies and digital communications while directing social media content and visual experiences that elevate engagement and drive measurable growth.

Earlier, as Head of Art and Art Director (2006–2012) and Creative Director (1999–2006), I developed comprehensive visual identities and led ATL campaigns from concept to pitch, aligning stakeholders through client-facing presentations. I also started as a Graphic Designer at AMARAL DESIGN, strengthening my foundation in editorial design, photography edition, branding development, and illustration for publications and cultural magazines.
