STORY &STRATEGY

As a creative strategist, I find what makes people care, then make the work that proves it.

About me
& what I do

About

I was born in Brazil, spent two years in Italy and now call East London home. Somewhere along the way I picked up a love of good coffee, good design and a good story, usually in that order. Away from the desk, you’ll find me hunting down coffee spots, following consumer tech, at creative events or travelling.

Design came first. Then I got curious about the question behind the work: why this idea, who is it for and what makes someone care? That’s where strategy came in. I never put the pencil down, so now I do both.

I'm a creative lead working across strategy and story. I take brands from the first insight to the final line of the script.

01

Creative strategy

A clear direction teams can put to work.

I turn research, audience insight and business priorities into a creative platform, a Messaging Matrix and actionable briefs. I map personas and pain points so every message has a clear audience and job, giving brand and channel teams a shared foundation for the work.

Campaign concepts

One strong idea. A clear role for every execution.

I develop campaign concepts and carry them through scripts, storyboards and production. Working with channel and performance teams, I shape variations around audiences and their needs, so we learn which messages land and what to make next.

03

Content engine

A connected story across the work people see.

I turn campaign ideas and audience needs into content plans, formats and copy. Each piece has a purpose, from introducing the brand to answering a question or prompting action. Reusable formats help teams produce consistently and apply what they learn across channels.

  • Content plans
  • Copy & scripts
  • Social formats
  • Channel adaptations

04

Brand strategy

A brand people recognise and teams know how to use.

I translate positioning into a clear story, distinctive language and creative principles. I build practical guidance and examples that help teams make decisions, so the brand stays coherent as the work changes across audiences, channels and campaigns.

  • Brand narratives
  • Value propositions
  • Tone of voice
  • Creative guidelines

Pitches & workshops

Shared decisions that move the work forward.

I build the story and materials that help people understand an idea and get behind it. I design and lead workshops around decisions we need to make, then turn the discussion into clear direction, priorities and next steps.

  • Pitch narratives
  • Presentation decks
  • Workshop design
  • Action plans
