Yes, my name is Iron. It’s pronounced ‘e-ron’ — weird, but still less weird than iron.

I’m a 41-year-old Brazilian Black man. I’m also Mayra’s husband, Antonio’s dad, and soon-to-be dad of a baby on the way. I’m also Belchior’s dad — the coolest dog in the world (crazy names run in our veins).

With over 21 years in advertising agencies, I’ve had the privilege of creating great work for clients such as Volkswagen, Meta, CNN, Itaú, GOL Airlines, Heinz, P&G, and Mattel Games — with recognition at Cannes Lions, the Clio Awards, and Clube de Criação de São Paulo.

I was a judge at the D&AD Awards in London in 2023 (Photography category), a judge at Clube de Criação de São Paulo in 2024 and 2025, and also part of Young Lions last year.
