CAMPAIGNS & GAME DAY

I turn business goals (ticket sales, sign-ups, theme nights) into campaign ideas and carry them from concept to final delivery across social, digital, print and in-arena. Built for live-game speed without losing craft.

BRAND SYSTEMS & APPAREL

Visual systems that hold together on every touchpoint: social, large-format, arena signage, apparel and merchandise. Consistent enough to feel unmistakable, flexible enough to keep the brand fresh.

PARTNERSHIPS & PRESENTATIONS

As a founder, I sold sponsorships and built activations. I design partnership decks and mockups that show a partner exactly what they get, and I present creative with the strategy behind it.
Sports design work

20+ years in design and marketing. NBA creative since 2021. A founder's view of what creative has to achieve. Fluent in English, Portuguese and Spanish.
