CAREER HIGHLIGHTS
The Work
My career started in the art departments of Time Inc., Sony BMG, and MTV in New York — places where design had to be excellent because the audience expected nothing less.
For over a decade I served as the sole art director of a national 100-page monthly magazine, building every issue from concept to print: layout, photo research, retouching, illustration, advertising, and production. That kind of end-to-end ownership changes how you think about design.
I recently completed a Master of Liberal Arts in Journalism at Harvard Extension School, adding long-form reporting, photojournalism, and audio storytelling to the mix. The result is a rare combination: I can art-direct a story and write it. I can build a visual identity and develop the content strategy behind it.
Trilingual in English, Portuguese, and Spanish. Graphis New Talent Gold Award winner.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
What I Do
Editorial design and art direction — magazines, publications, and branded content.
Brand identity and visual systems — from logo to full campaign.
Digital and social design — campaigns, social media, and multi-platform assets.
Print and production — large format, packaging, collateral, and everything press-ready.
Every project starts with the same question: what does this need to say, and what's the most powerful way to say it visually?
