    Hi, I am Benato

  • I am a Brazilian Art Director & Designer. I have over a decade of experience leading and working with creative projects.

    I like to think of myself as someone fueled more by boldness than by innate talent. Relentless effort and a genuine passion for creativity are what drive me to reach every goal.

    Today, I thrive as an Independent Art Director and Designer. In the past, I have had the privilege of collaborating with inspiring talents and top-tier agencies and studios such as AlmapBBDO, FutureBrand, Monks, and more.
