still not convinced?

my work has been recognized by Cannes Lions, One Show, NY Festivals, Clio, LIA, ADC, D&AD, AICP, Webbys, AdAge, AdWeek, Muse by Clio, Cresta, Epica, Effies, Awwwards, Graphis, DMA Echo Awards, El Sol de Iberomerica, Circulo de Oro, Wave Festival in Rio, Applied Arts, FIAP, and Future Lions.

but still, my proudest achievements are having my youtube account banned in less than 2 minutes, keeping mr. leafy alive no matter how often I forget to water it, and making ad legends dance “the little lad dance” at an adweek panel.
