About

Hi. My name is Carlos but my friends call me Cacá. So you can call me Carlos. I’m a 29-year-old art director based in Los Angeles, California. I started my career 11 years ago, going through ad agencies like Wieden+Kennedy, Africa DDB, F/Nazca Saatchi&Saatchi, Estud.io and the design team of Nubank.
I'm currently working as Associate Design Director at MullenLowe LA.
