Graphic Designer



Hey there,

I’m Marcelo and it’s great to meet you. Here’s a bit about me.

I'm a creative from São Paulo, Brazil, currently based just north in Toronto, Canada. After my start in the industry as an illustrator and studio designer, I switched over to Graphic Design Digital, where, for over ten years, I’ve gotten the privilege of creating some award-winning work for iconic digital brands like Budweiser, Sleep Country, ScotiaBank, YMCA, Visa Fiat, Levi’s, Puma, 3M, ESPN, Nestlè, pharma and many, many more.

I’ve done some of my favourite work at agencies, including Publicis Toronto, FCB, BBH, StrawberryFrog, DPZT (Brazil), and Gale Partners Toronto and a handful of other great shops. And in 2014 & 2016 and 2023, I was invited to be part of the Direct & Collateral jury category for the NYF. With experience in all channels, a knack for production, and a love for the creative process, I’m always ready and hungry for my next great brief.
