About me

Hello! My name is Thiago, and I’m a creative leader currently based in NYC.

I love my job. It allowed me to tell the story of a transgender nun, co-create and launch a new Coke globaly with a major artist, turn a business-killing consumer behavior into a business driver, create a wearable device that helps people chill, make a global fashion collection that empowers people against online hate, help the colorblind see color for the first time, among many other things. It also allowed me to spend the last decade working for major creative agencies in five different cities, in four different countries, in three different continents. All this while collaborating, leading, and learning from people that are way smarter and more talented than me.
