I am human, I am man and I am 25 years old designer with more than 10 years of experience! I start “playing” with computers within only 10 years old, and was with 11 that I upload my first designed and programmed website. It was not perfect but for the time it was great, and was my first homepage, what today I call portfolio, I was posting there my life and my interests.

I design the world that you want to see, I build ways to manipulate you directly or indirectly and make you buy what you don’t need or the products that you don’t care if you even understand them. Beside that I am also the designer that present you’re the nicest product and using the most complete way possible, and very passively.

Design in marketing is much more than create a campaign, is much more than present something that we need to sell. Marketing is the way you act behave or imagine things, or ate least how we make people do. Yes, you imagine based on the image that I carefully created, produce an impact on your sub-conscious that you cannot stop. In the moment that you realise that I am manipulating your actions, the marketing campaign will not work and the investment will probably not worth it, but that is the secret key, you mustn’t understand it and is because of it we are systematically harmonious!

Can’t I design my own life in a way to be much more successful or happy?

I do marketing to affect other people, I simply can’t marketise my own ideas to myself. Once I know what I am doing, I stop believing on that advices for discount that always bring a smile to anyone else. I am protected to my own weapons because I know they exist, but if another designer or marketer does it, well then the story is different.
