BRAZILIAN/ PORTUGUESE/ SENIOR ART DIRECTOR/ BASED IN GERMANY

↳ Hi, my name is Ailton Henriques and I’m a Senior Art Director originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil with a Portuguese passport. Through advertising, I’ve been trying to escape the heat. I went from Rio to São Paulo… that wasn’t enough. I needed a cooler challenge, so I moved to Vancouver. Surprisingly, that was also warm. So I’m currently working at INNOCEAN Berlin and enjoying the cloudy German days.

Want to hire me in a cold place? 
My coat is packed.

🔥
Want to hire me in a warm place?
If the challenge is hotter than the local temperatures, I’m in.
