About Me

My name is Vinicius—you can call me Vini or Vin.

I was fortunate to be born creative, but once I decided to pursue a career in a creative field, I knew I also had to become technical. That led me to Emerson College, one of the top five filmmaking schools in the U.S.

Originally from Brazil, where I grew up, I spent most of my adult life in Boston before moving to Portugal, where I’ve been based for the past seven years while living and working across Europe and Canada. These experiences, and the constant exposure to different cultures, deepened my understanding of people’s diverse wants and needs and made me more adaptable to different work environments. 

Over the last 12 years, I've worked as producer, development coordinator, videographer, and project manager—to name a few. I am well-versed in all production stages—from pre to post—but my true strength lies in creation itself, being in the form of writing, filmmaking or crafting brand identities.

Whether it's a feature film, a full-fledged brand ID or a fleshed-out ad-campaign, if I'm put to the challenge, you can count on me to deliver.
