My name is Renato (pronounced Heh-nah-Toh).

I am a Brazilian art director, born in São Paulo, one of the largest cities in the world. In 2009, I moved to Chicago, where I continued working in my field, developing advertising campaigns for a range of clients.

I'm passionate about visual ideas, creative concepts, and the power of storytelling. Narrative has always been a fundamental part of how I develop ideas and build creative concepts.

Outside of advertising, I also write for film. Since 2024, I've been part of feature film screenwriting development groups, where I've been developing my voice as a storyteller while working on original screenplays.
