ABOUT
Annette’s son
I am the product of a Dutch mother
who was an artist and a Brazilian
father,
who was a businessman.
I am an artist who for his sins, understands business.
But in reality, I am Annette’s son.
Sorry Dad.
My mother, Annette, was the first female art director
in advertising in the Netherlands.
Much to my father’s frustration,
I grew up in Brazil surrounded
by art and layouts and lateral thinkers.
I got my work ethic and discipline from playing basketball
professionally in my youth. (I’m 6’9”). In basketball, if you don’t work, you don’t
succeed.
I was once praised by Francis Ford Coppola for my bravery.
(how’s
that for name dropping).
In the last 17 years I have worked in Brazil, the Netherlands, Portugal, Berlin, Kuwait, Boulder Colorado, Los Angeles and Miami.
I have won awards at all the major shows including 6 one
show pencils.
But all I ever want is to make my mother proud.
I am Annette’s son.
