for a new challenge in Branding,

Creativity and Strategy intersect
to build better brands, better
conversations and better businesses.
Hello!

2. Professionally I’m driven by the pursuit of
I believe this kind of ideas have no predetermined
formats and are powerful tools that can originate
a new brand position, a new identity, an event,
a new service or even a new business model!!!

3. PERSONALLY...
I consider myself a product of “generation
Flux”, shaped by multiculturalism. I travel as
frequently as possible to quench an insatiable
curiosity about people and the world.

4. I’m completely fascinated by brands
and communication between people of
different cultures!
And it makes perfect sense... with
angolan parents, brothers living in
South Africa and Namibia, uncles and
grandfathers in U.S.A., step brothers
in Switzerland and Cambodia...
THE WORLD IS MY PLAYGROUND.

5. When I’m not immersed in work
I can usually be found flying
around the world.
And that’s really cool!.. Being in
contact with different cultures,
tasting different flavors and seeing
different colors helps me stay on
a creative edge.

6. Curiosity and the desire
to know more has shaped
my academic background.
