ABOUT

Creativity has been my language for
over 12 years as a way to learn, to connect,
and to help brands tell stories that matter.

I’m a creative director with more than a decade of experience working in communication, strategy, and design.

I started my career as a graphic designer,
built strong foundations in visual communication, and later specialized in motion design, where storytelling and design came together.

Over time, I expanded my focus into art and creative direction, bringing strategy, design,
and leadership into the mix.

Skateboarding has always been a big influence in my life. It taught me to see the world through a creative, challenging, and playful lens — an attitude that still guides my work today. While completing my BA in Graphic Design and a 2D & 3D Animation course, I began my professional journey in 2013. Since then, I’ve worked both freelance and in-house, collaborating with global brands such as Google, Meta, Robinhood, NEOM, BMW, Vodafone, Casio, L’Oréal, Vans, Worten, and many more.

Throughout this journey, I’ve gained skills that go beyond design — from storytelling and strategy to creative direction and problem solving. Today, I help brands craft stories that connect with people and move culture forward.

Over the years I’ve collaborated with agencies, studios, and brands, building diverse experience in communication, design, and direction.

Nothing speaks louder than the people we create with and the bonds we make along the way. Here are a few words from those I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside.

“

As our Creative Director, he didn’t just bring ideas to the table – he helped reshaped how we think, work, and dream as an agency. Filipe has an incredible ability to see beyond the immediate and envision a future that inspires and pushes boundaries. His dedication to repositioning Blue Pepper was a game-changer for us, from redefining our internal processes to shaping our voice and our brand.

Beyond his creative brilliance, Filipe is simply a remarkable person to be around. He’s a natural leader, but also a true team player – someone who brings out the best in others through his empathy, insight, and constant encouragement. I have seen him guide and mentor with a kindness that makes everyone feel valued and understood. For me personally, he was not only a colleague but a friend whose presence brought meaning and positivity to every day.

I truly miss working with Filipe. He’s left an indelible mark on Blue Pepper and on everyone lucky enough to have collaborated with him. I’m excited to see where his journey takes him next, knowing that his future will be as impactful as his time with us. Anyone who has the chance to work with Filipe is incredibly fortunate. I know I will be (again).

Without a doubt one of the best motion designers I’ve ever worked with. It’s impressive how Filipe managed to understand all the ideas in detail, and he always goes further. I also have to mention the professionalism and ability to overcome all challenges in time, even those that seemed impossible.
