Hi :) I’m Vic and I’m an art director from Brazil.
When I first made my portfolio, this page had an embarrassingly long paragraph about me and why I decided to become and art director. The short version is that I was 12 years old and, for some weird reason (the reason is not that weird, but it’s part of the embarrassingly long paragraph I decided to remove), I really liked ads.
I’ve worked with brands such as Michelob ULTRA, Leica, Supercell, Spotify, BMW, General Motors, Fireball, Valvoline, Donate Life, the FDA, Santander, and others.
If you have any questions, or would like hear the longer version of this bio, please drop me a note.
