Guilherme by his mom:
"Gui has more than 10 years of experience working in advertising, it means that I have been trying to understand what he really does for more than 10 years. He is currently working in Berlin as an Art Director (as he said, I have been to Berlin yet to check it out).
He started working in a small hotshop in Ribeirao Preto, Brazil. Still very close to us. In 2000 he moved to Rio de Janeiro, where he worked for DM9DDB and Y&R. It was hard to face the distance, but anyway it was always a good excuse to go to Rio and enjoy the sun. Still in Y&R, he moved to their office in Sao Paulo on 2006. I said to him that São Paulo is too grey, but he didn't listen so our holidays in Rio was over. From 2007 he joined MPM's creative team and after 2 years he realized I was right about Sao Paulo and decide to move again, but this time to Budapest, to work for DDB. The Skype Era was about to start, but I enjoyed somehow all this technology. Even a Facebook profile I have now. In the past years my son has worked on very nice clients such as Vodafone, Vivo (brazilian telecom), Volkswagen, BurgerKing, McDonald's, Texaco, Henkel, Fox Film, Bridgestone and many others. He is proud (and I am much more) to have some of his work recognized in some awards.
We sent him to study at UNAERP - Ribeirao Preto, Brazil, where he got his degree on social communications with emphasis in advertising and propaganda. He has Portuguese as a mother tongue and he is fluent in English. He also has a very basic level of Hungarian and Spanish." - Maria de Lourdes
