Salve meu patrão 👋


My name's Guilherme Costa, a creative art director at VML - São Paulo.

I’m Brazilian — which doesn’t mean I dance samba. I was born in Curitiba (a.k.a. the capybara capital). There’s no carnival and not much sun, but there’s a lot of fun and lovely people, like me.

I’m obsessed with making and seeing ideas come to life. Everyday I get up trying to do the best work of my life. And here’s how it should be: something that stirs emotions and makes people feel special — or badass.

With almost ten years of experience, I’m grateful to the amazing people who’ve hired me and to the great clients (like Warner Bros, Coca-Cola, Dell, Pedigree, Kitkat, Snickers, KFC, Nestlé, O Boticário, Mentos, Fruittella) who’ve bet on our stuff and partnership.

I believe creativity is a very powerful tool. And I intend to use it to make bold and sharp projects that my team can be proud of, and also can help my clients make even more money — that way I can make more money too. (☞ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞
