Hey, ho! My name is Pedro Americo, I am a Creative Director / Art Director and also the dude in that picture. I’ve done all this stuff you’ve seen here. I design things. I come up with ideas. I develop ideas and executed them. I write music. I write about music in different zines. I play different instruments. I play in a band called Die Traktor. I play with my photo camera and I also play video games. I love technology even though I write all my ideas on a notepad.

I am from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I love travelling, learning new languages and working abroad. Been abroad since 2007, between Romania, UK and Germany, where I am at the moment, working for McCann Germany as Executive Creative Director.. Before that, I was living in my hometown, working for different agencies and playing with my band. During all these years, I've worked for clients like Nike, Mercedes-Benz, Opel, BMW, Volkswagen, Mazda, o2, Katjes, Ikea, German Red Cross, T-Mobile, Vichy, Exxon Mobil, Coca Cola, L’Oreal, Petrobras, and many others. I got many recognitions from what I’ve done for them, but the award I am proud the most is the one I got with my brazilian band Hill Valleys for the best brazilian independent rock/pop album of the year in 2004 from Dynamite Magazine. I was also fortunate enough to be invited to participate as a judge in important festivals such as Cannes Lions, Eurobest, Cresta, D&D New Blood, Webby Awards, New York Festivals and others.
