My name is Renato (pronounced how-ever-you-can), I was born and raised in Brazil but have been living in the US since 2010. As a Brazilian, I can be very passionate and that passion is always present in my work.

Before working in advertising, I wanted to be a movie screenwriter, and at the time, I took classes and learned how to write scripts. Although I ended up changing my mind and going to Advertising School instead, that knowledge has helped to become a better creative. When I think about concepts, I always try to think about a story to tell or an unexpected way to surprise my audience.

Through the years I have become a creative jack of all trades. If there's something that I need to learn in order to make my ideas come true, I will learn. However, I'm usually very critical about my work ( I can't get no satisfaction..♫♪ ), which I think it helps to keep pushing myself to be a better professional.
