Hey. I’m Gabriel Moniz, or just Moniz for the people who like to keep it simple. I’m a Brazilian creative with a background in art direction & design, currently doing my stuff as a Senior Creative | Designer at Nubank.

Born (October 1999) and raised in São Luís - Maranhão, I’ve been splitting my time between my hometown and São Paulo capital since 2019 (yep, almost 3,000 km apart, thank you, flights).

I’ve been drawing since I could hold a pencil and building imaginary worlds with my toys since before I could spell. Cliché? Maybe. True? Absolutely. With an artist dad and a pharmacist mom, I grew up between canvases and chemical formulas, learning to love both creative freedom and obsessive detail.

As you can see, I'm terrible talking about myself, but moving forward. Over the last 8 years, I’ve had the chance to work with some insanely talented people at agencies like AlmapBBDO, Africa Creative DDB, Crispin Porter + Bogusky, Energy BBDO, Phocus, and now at Nubank’s Creative Hub.

Along the way, I got lucky and snagged a few global, regional and local awards, including a Gold at Cannes Young Lions Live (2021) and being named one of the VOZES30 by Papel & Caneta (2019).

Besides work (and within it too), I’m all about music, sports, cinema, games, anime, weird internet stuff, and basically anything that screams "entertainment", especially if it has that good old Brazilian flavor.

If you want to chat, swap stories, review portfolios, or just send memes, hit me up. Anyway, thanks for stopping by.
