01 · The idea

One system, from identity to campaigns

I’m a Creative Art Director from Lisbon. For 25+ years I have built brands end to end: over 100 brands and websites for clients in Portugal, Brazil, Angola, Canada, Switzerland and Ireland. I have led a team of 9 people.

I design the whole system: identity, campaigns, websites, social and print, so every piece looks like one brand. I work fast, I keep files clear for teams, and I explain my choices in plain words.

Five years growing with BIG

I joined BIG as an Art Director, when the company had 8 people. I created an identity for each new business (BIGsales, BIGwash, BIGcare, BIGdelivery and more), built the brand architecture and created BIGgroup. Later the company moved to one ecosystem, BIGhub, for e-commerce and marketplace management, from sale to delivery. The brands became its modules. Today the company has 70+ people and I lead a team of 9, managing branding, marketing and web.

Online and offline. In print and in pixels. In chaos and in clarity. In “we need it yesterday” and “take your time but make it flawless.”
