Creative Director
based in NYC.
Raised in São Paulo by an introverted Japanese father and an extroverted Brazilian mother, I proudly identify as 100% Brazilian. My only nod to my Japanese heritage is my love for rice and sushi (with a Brazilian twist to it); otherwise, my creativity is purely Brazilian rooted, cultivated over 15 years working in different markets such as; Brazil, Australia, United Arab Emirates and the United States.
I wish I could tell a glamorous and inspiring story about how I got into advertising, but the truth is that I just crossed out all the subjects I sucked at in school until advertising was the only thing left on the table. Not the smartest way to make a decision, but it turned out okay for me in the end.
My journey might not have been the most conventional, but it's led me to where I am today—From working odd jobs in Australia to residing in Dubai for six years, I finally landed where I’ve always dreamed to be in, New York City.
Aside from advertising, I'm also super into photography and traveling. Surprisingly, I'm not much of a soccer fan, though, so don't waste your breath talking to me about it. However, we can definitely chat about more conventional stuff like music, podcasts, books, movies, pop-culture, surfing, skateboarding, and some crazy non-sense TikTok trends.
