When my daughters ask what I do for a living, I give them a different answer every time. They're still too young to understand brands, business, or why someone would hire me to imagine what could exist before it does.
I've spent the last twenty-five years creating brand narratives for organizations like SpaceX, Nike, Stanford, Ben & Jerry's, Meta, and many others. The work has taken many forms. Campaigns, platforms, films, decks, products. But it has always started from the same place: finding the idea worth building.
I move comfortably between disciplines. Strategy and craft. Writing and design. Systems thinking and intuition. Human insight and AI. I've learned the most valuable kind of creativity is the one that feeds from those intersections.
When my daughters ask what I do for a living, I give them a different answer every time. They’re still too young to understand brands, business, or why someone would hire me to imagine what could exist before it does. One day I’ll probably tell them I design stories that help businesses thrive.

A CEO usually sees a creative partner who thinks about the business as much as the brand. A CMO sees someone obsessed with brand consistency. Strategists often discover I'm as interested in the question as I am in the answer. Designers realize I still love making things with my own hands. I simply think of myself as someone who's curious.
I've been fortunate to build a career that has taken me from Brazil, where I was lucky enough to win Cannes Lions, Webby Awards, and later serve on the Cannes PR jury, to Portland, Oregon, where I joined ENSO as an Executive Creative Director.
