Flavio by Flavio

Creative Director / Art Director exploring ideas across advertising, film, and design.

Over the past decade I’ve worked with teams at AKQA, Droga5, Mother, and Ogilvy, developing concept-driven campaigns and brand storytelling across global brands and emerging platforms. My work spans advertising, film, and design-led projects, often exploring the intersection of culture, technology, and human behavior.

Alongside agency work, I pursue independent creative explorations in film, photography, and visual storytelling — interested in how ideas move between disciplines, from campaigns and moving image to objects, systems, and environments.

Originally from Brazil, I divide my time between New York and São Paulo.

When not working on campaigns, I’m usually exploring film ideas, long walks with a camera, or the occasional rabbit hole into design, systems, or financial structures.
