Creative Director,
Designer and
Photographer.

Experienced in marketing for over a decade working in both agency and in-house.

I am currently a Creative Director at Realtor.com, leading the brand creative team across all sectors, from B2B to B2C, and managing integrated marketing and partnerships.

Prior I had the privilege of working with 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, and 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. Fluent in English, Portuguese, and Spanish.

Fun fact: I share a birthplace with Cristiano Ronaldo and once aspired to soccer stardom. However, my passion shifted towards art and design. I pursued Graphic Design in Lisbon and later specialized in Interactive Art Direction at Hyper Island, dubbed by CNN as “one of the most interesting schools worldwide”.

Apart from my roles in marketing and design, I'm also a photographer and proud small business owner. In 2020, I opened a print shop. I currently live in Seattle with my wife and three young children.
