Creative Director,
Designer and
Photographer.
Experienced in marketing for over a decade, working in both agency and in-house.
As the Creative Director of Realtor.com, here are a few things I’m proud of.
Led a 15-person in-house creative team.
Oversaw creative across all lines of business
(B2C, B2B, Product Marketing, CRM, Media, PR, Social, Events and Partnerships).
Led 360 Integrated Marketing Campaigns.
Developed GenAi campaigns.
Played a crucial role in the brand's visual transformation.
Led production.
Managed agencies.
Used creativity and logic to drive revenue and audience.
Elevated the creative product day in and day out.
Created an internal Creative Gym.
Inspired a group of makers and brand managers to become a team of creatives.
And obviously, I learned a bunch of business acronyms that I didn't know existed.
Before moving to the client side, I worked at some of the best advertising agencies for renowned brands like Samsung Global, McDonald’s, Adidas, and AT&T. My work has garnered recognition from industry award shows and publications such as Cannes Lions, The Guardian, Forbes, Variety, and many more.
Before venturing into advertising, I helped found and design Jornal “i,” a daily publication from Lisbon. I contributed to earning the title of World’s Best Design Newspaper by the Society of News Design. With a background spanning Greece, Holland, Portugal, and Sweden before settling in the United States, I bring a diverse cultural perspective to my work. I am fluent in English, Portuguese, and Spanish.
Fun fact: Growing up, I used to play football against Cristiano Ronaldo and once also aspired to soccer stardom. However, my passion shifted towards art and design. I pursued graphic design in Lisboa and later specialized in interactive art direction at Hyper Island, which CNN called “one of the most interesting schools worldwide.”
In addition to my roles in marketing and design, I'm a photographer and proud small business owner.
I currently live in Seattle with my wife and three young children.
