About
I'm Thiago Marinho, a senior art director and graphic designer with over 20 years in advertising and design. I lead with concept and work full-stack across the whole creative process — brand systems, campaigns, motion, and photography — adapting to each client's voice rather than imposing my own.
Over two decades I've worked with private clients across many industries and with public-sector clients, on both agency and in-house teams. Today I'm the sole creative lead for the Jiao Florencio Dental Group in the San Francisco Bay Area, running the visual identity and marketing for four distinct brands. Bilingual (English / Portuguese), remote-ready.
