My work so far has won 6 Cannes Lions (2 Gold, 1 Silver, 3 Bronze), 3 D&AD Pencils as well as One Show, NY Festivals and Clio. In 2016, I was chosen among 200 candidates to represent Brazil at Cannes Young Lions Festival where my partner and I got Bronze.
I approach advertising as my own Studio 8H from SNL, concepting ideias that can sell a brand POV, no matter how wild they seem, always trying to bring a little bit of fun in it.
In my spare time, I make bloc parties for 10.000 people (really!) and write about life, love and Despacito. Here’s a picture of me having a blast on Brazil’s cable TV.

KFC | WEDDINGS
Put a wing on it
Many people have a special relationship with KFC. They’re places where they met their first crush, locations of first dates and more recently, a pitstop between wedding ceremony and reception.
This made us think. If people are already hitting KFC on their wedding day... then why shouldn’t we marry them as well?
Soon, we'll wed the first happy couple in front of family, friends and of course, the Colonel himself.
