What I'm looking for

I seek creative roles where I can combine photography, media production and social-education work—impact-driven teams, project-based freelance or community programs that value cultural transformation.

I am a multidisciplinary creative professional based in São Paulo, Brazil, combining roles as an educador social, fotógrafo, publicitário and tradutor. I deliver photography, media planning, and social-education programming that use culture and sport to drive community transformation.

As an educator I lead and run skate workshops and youth-focused activities at CEU das Artes, guiding teams in delivering events and hands-on learning; as a photographer and freelancer I produce commercial content, product photography, and visual media for brands, artists and events. I also provide consultancy and media production services for internet campaigns and brand projects.

I communicate fluently in English and bring more than a decade of freelance photography experience alongside several years in social-education roles, focused on impact through creative programming, lighting and image editing skills.
