About
I’m a design executive and creative leader with more than 20 years of experience building brands, leading teams, and creating meaningful design solutions across agency and brand environments.
My career has taken me across Brazil and the United States—from Curitiba and São Paulo to New York, San Francisco, and Chicago. Working across different cultures, industries, and creative environments has shaped the way I think about design and given me a broad, global perspective on brands, people, and communication.
I’ve always been fascinated by the intersection of art, technology, and problem-solving. That curiosity is what led me to design, and it continues to drive the way I approach my work today. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with and create for globally recognized brands including PepsiCo, Nestlé, Gatorade, Disney, Citroën, Audi, Mastercard, Visa, Qatar Airways, and others—earning recognition along the way for work across branding, packaging, digital experiences, advertising, and integrated campaigns.
One of the defining chapters of my career was moving from Brazil to the United States to pursue a goal I had carried with me since I was 22: earning a Master's degree in design. I began my MFA in Advertising & New Media at the Academy of Art University while continuing to build my career, completing the program in 2020 while working at PepsiCo.
Today, I’m VP, Design Director at Morning Walk, where I lead a talented team of designers across different backgrounds and career levels while partnering with creative, strategy, account, and production teams to solve complex brand challenges for global clients.
As a leader, I believe great design happens when creativity, strategy, technology, and people come together. I’m passionate about building strong teams, developing talent, creating better ways of working, and giving designers the space and direction they need to do their best work.
I’m still as curious about design as I was when I started—and probably even more curious about what comes next.
