Clear vision, honest craft, and the drive to bring bold ideas to life.
I'm an American-Portuguese Creative Director, Producer, and Filmmaker based in Southern California with deep roots in Portugal. Over the years, I've led creative teams, co-run a marketing agency, built a production studio from scratch, and guided projects from the first blank page all the way to the final cut.
Right now I lead video storytelling, brand promos, and motion design work at Buffini & Company, while developing independent films and series through Então Productions and Luso Scope. Whether I'm shaping a creative brand brief, building a motion graphics package, directing a crew on set, or pushing new workflows with generative AI, my focus stays the same—make work that means something and actually moves people.

What I Do
Great work takes both big-picture strategy and the willingness to get your hands dirty in the craft. Here is how I help brands and teams win.
Creative Brand Briefs
Every strong campaign starts long before the camera rolls. I work directly with leadership and marketing teams to turn business goals into clear creative briefs, sharp brand positioning, and pitch decks that give everyone a vision they can rally behind.
Marketing Agency & Team Leadership
Having co-owned a commercial agency and run my own production company, I know the pressure of real client deadlines and tight budgets. I love leading writers, designers, editors, and crews—mentoring people, raising the bar, and getting projects across the finish line.
Motion & Graphic Design
Strong design holds a brand story together. I build custom motion graphics, animated infographics, kinetic typography, broadcast lower-thirds, and key art in After Effects, Illustrator, and Photoshop so every frame feels intentional.
Scripting, Directing & Editing
I'm a builder at heart and stay close to the work. From writing a script that earns attention in the first few seconds to directing talent on set and finding the right pace in the edit bay, I care about every step of the story.
Generative AI Filmmaking
AI is not a replacement for taste or hard work—it's a way to put bigger, more ambitious worlds on screen. I've built practical AI video workflows for commercials, training courses, and narrative films while keeping characters consistent and grounded.
Live Events & Original Films
Whether it's an arena opener built to fire up thousands of people in a ballroom or an independent short film headed to international festivals, I bring cinematic care and emotional honesty to every screen.
