Hello, I'm Sandro! With over 8 years of experience in the communication industry, I specialize in branding, communication strategies, advertising, art direction, and web development. Throughout my career, I've collaborated with renowned brands such as UEFA, ThyssenKrupp, Continente, Sonae Sierra, Levi's, Walmart, The Explorers Club, and Rio Quente Resorts.


Currently, I work as a Creative Designer at ACTIVE in the North American cannabis market. In this role, I focus on branding and marketing projects within the United States, as well as for Canada and parts of Europe, including the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, and Southern Europe.

I lead creative projects for international clients, ensuring impactful design solutions. Having lived in six different cities across four countries, I bring a global perspective to my work. Fluent in Portuguese, English, and Spanish, I thrive in multicultural environments and enjoy connecting with diverse teams and audiences.



What

are

my

superpowers?

My process toolkit includes: Brand Sprint, Brand Purpose, Design Thinking, Data Strategy, Creative Coding, Human-Centered Design, Behavioral Economics, and Art Direction.

Tools and Languages: Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere, After Effects, Figma, Webflow, Wordpress, VS Code, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and React.

Businesses should not only generate profit but also enrich lives: address real problems, inspire, and foster a sense of community.

Everything I do revolves around one mission: bringing meaningful stories to life and weaving purpose into people's everyday experiences.




When I take on a project, it’s all about crafting something that not only meets but elevates the brand’s goals while delivering an unforgettable experience for the audience.




Whether it’s a bold campaign, a fresh brand identity, digital content, a sleek website, or a dynamic brand activation, the goal is always the same: to create something that resonates, inspires, and drives impact.
