About
Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to create work that has been recognized by prestigious festivals of creativity and effectiveness, as well as exhibited internationally in art museums. Early in my career, I was honored to represent the U.S. at the Cannes Young Lions competition.
I moved from Brazil to the U.S. in my teenage years by way of a tennis scholarship, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism from Utah State University and a Master of Arts in Advertising from The University of Texas at Austin, where I also served as a teaching assistant and graduate researcher while completing the school’s creative program.
If you’d like to know more, please feel free to reach out. Thank you for visiting my site.
