✺ Senior Creative & ✎ Art Director ⟿

Bernardo Sande,
28 years old.


☺☺☺☺☺

freelancer based in SP/Brazil.


I was born and raised in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil.

At one point, I enrolled in a Design course, but it didn’t really work (that's why you don't see "& Designer" next to "Art Director"). Then I decided to study Business, only to discover that it was not what I wanted either. So I ended up working at my uncle's Advertising Agency (yes, just like in the joke about the tech-savvy nephew who can Photoshop) and months later I moved to São Paulo and went to Miami Ad School.

After moving, I started my career as an intern at AKQA São Paulo, where I could help with several campaigns and also participate in some business competitions involving huge clients, such as Netflix, Google, Converse, and Uber.

Then, I went to SOKO as an Art Director – where I could work with brands like Absolut, Orloff, Beefeater, Jameson, and Mash.

Months later, I went to AfricaDDB, where I was responsible for AB InBev accounts like Budweiser, Brahma, Heinz, and Quero.

Later on, I started working at GUT São Paulo, for clients like Mercado Livre, Skol (AB InBev), Domino's Pizza, Mercado Pago, and QuintoAndar.

Now, I am working freelance as a Senior Art Director and Photographer for a while. Want to know more about my work?
