Hi! I’m Diogo Parrinha, freelance Creative & Art Director, based in Lisbon, Portugal, available to work and travel worldwide.
— With strong background as digital & graphic designer, it’s at the conceptual part of this job that I find my biggest joy. Focused on the experience and storytelling, I naturally evolved to become a Creative Director, working brands in their every aspect, in terms of aesthetic, message and positioning — I’m a passionated for film directing/concept and photography. — this is me, this is my journey.
With more than 10 years of experience, my career is made of projects for brands such as Nike, Adidas, Eurosport, Tommy&Hilfiger, Coca-Cola, Samsung, Mercedes, KLM, Mini, EA Games, Red Bull and last but not least, the Portuguese Football Federation – where I was the Creative Director.
Currently based in Lisbon, my background is made (mostly) of agencies and in the past I worked in places such as AKQA Amsterdam; Hi-Res! New York; BBDO Portugal; FullSix Portugal; among others.
If you have a project you would like to enquire me, collaborate on or simply want to say hello,
please reach out diogo.parrinha@gmail.com
