About

I'm a 32 year-old award winning brazilian senior copywriter and a big SNL and Os Normais fan, currently working as Freelance Senior Copywriter

︎
São Paulo -> Sydney -> Shanghai -> São Paulo -> Miami -> São Paulo






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.

TIDAL X USHER | DON’T LOOK AWAY

The world’s first music video that demands your attention

While social injustice and racial profiling keep taking lives, society keeps looking away.

For the launch of recording artist Usher's new song 'Chains', an anthem advocating for unarmed victims of violence, we created a an interactive site using face recognition technology.

When fans visit chains.tidal.com, they must hold the gaze of victims of social injustice to hear the track. If the viewer looks away, the music stops - demanding that they face the problem as the first step towards change.
