Our goal is to help you discover the next show you will love to watch.The team I currently lead is responsible for defining and creating the visual representation of all Netflix shows on the service: artwork, trailers and clips, for TV and mobile, for thousands of shows every year.

Led the Creative Shop team at Facebook, the global creative organization responsible for working with advertisers of all sizes and their agencies on their creative journeys on Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp and Oculus, in 40+ markets where Facebook has business operations.As machine learning plays a larger role in ad targeting, measurement and optimization, creativity has re-emerged as the biggest competitive advantage for advertisers. From ad-hoc campaign work to the evolution of creative processes, the work was focused in connecting brands and people in meaningful ways, generating business results for brands and positive sentiment for people.

After the success of our first TEDx conference, an extended group of creatives organized an event now focused on the Amazon, on a floating hotel in the middle of the rainforest. Once again, we flew hundreds of people from all over the country to debate the future of the planet during 3 inspiring days.

The search for personal growth and inspiration led me to join the TED Conferences in early 2000s. Back from the 2008 event, Helder Araújo and I decided to bring the event to Brazil. Together with a talented group of other creative entrepreneurs we organized the first TEDx conference in the country, for an audience of 800 people.

After a few years working for local ad agencies and small creative studios, I’ve landed my first job at an advertising agency as an art director, creating campaigns for government accounts, like Caixa Econômica Federal and the Brazilian Tourism Bureau. Short experience, as new opportunities were starting to appear due to the arrival of the internet in Brazil.
