About

In 2003 I finished my degree in Digital Arts and Advertising @ London College of Music & Media (London, UK). I gave my first steps in the Advertising world doing freelance work for Angola, and not long after, I started working for MKT (now Brandia Central), I was there for about a year, got to junior and then left to where I currently am, DraftFCB Lisbon (Portugal).

This year (2007) I represented Portugal in the Cannes Young Creative Competition, in the print category. Hopefully I'll be there next year to.

My objective in the long run is to have my own ad agency, something like W+K. In a medium term future, I want to win a Black Pencil at the D&AD awards, and right now,in the present, learn, learn, & learn some more, with a nice collection of awards in the middle.

Oh, and of course, I'll be getting a Triumph Spitfire soon, I hope. I'm visualizing it very clearly :p
