ABOUT

BMV_Gif21.gif

Hello!

I’m a Brazilian Art Director, Graphic Designer and Photo Retoucher with 15+ years of experience crafting campaigns for global brands such as L’Oréal Paris, Maybelline NY, Nestlé, Smirnoff and T-Mobile. I’m a creative thinker, visual storyteller and occasional pixel perfectionist. I’m also fluent in English, Portuguese and Memes.

Always learning, always creating, and occasionally giving AI a better line to work with.

My work has been recognized internationally by the Effie Awards, FIAP, The One Show and more.

Say hi. I don’t bite. Unless the brief is vague.
