TEAM
Paulo Domingues
Chief Executive OfficerMany are the names given to our CEO. "Boss", "Little Chef" or "Master Cobra" are just a few examples. But the truth is that between stories set in Tibet and allusions to children's series, this true caffeine-fueled machine is the one who manages all the operations (and still has time to be an Instagram star!). Her efficiency in solving unexpected problems and her ability to find efficient solutions are her main attributes.
Patrícia Domingues
Executive DirectorPatrícia Domingues, our "corporate mother". She is the one who coordinates the whole team without letting the loving way in which she cares for everyone take precedence over the practical need for organization. In fact, her greatest qualities are her incredible organizational skills and fantastic time management. She loves her three children (who are always "in" at Teams meetings, both with the team and with clients) and her two Labrador dogs.
Bruno Martins
Chief Creative OfficerBruno is a designer, but he has another great passion: music! He loves playing drums and has even given a kuduro concert! His love is so great that he has already travelled 3.000 kilometres just to see a concert. He loves watching and playing football - he never misses a Sporting match and he chooses Portugal's victory in Euro 2016 as one of the best moments of his life. He also enjoys video games and dinner with friends (as long as he doesn't have to eat spinach!).
Nádia Paiva
Account DirectorNádia is one of the northerners in our team. She was born in Santa Maria da Feira, but it was Lisbon that won her heart. She loves photography and cooking. When she was little she dreamed of being a dance teacher, but it was in communication and creativity that she found her special place. She has impeccably combed bangs and, if you don't want to see her upset, don't ruffle them. She's a Formula 1 fan and one of her dreams is to attend a race (preferably in Monaco).
Ricardo Jorge
Mobile & Web Development DirectorWhen Ricardo's working, there's nothing to distract him: we could all be having a party, but he stays focused on the code. He's passionate about his work and loves discovering new features. When he's not working, he loves going to the gym (after all, he's known for his tight shirts and enviable physique), cooking (his francesinhas are famous), playing PlayStation, playing with his son Salvador and his three nephews.
Adriana Santos
Lead Brand ManagerAdriana lives in Ribamar, five minutes from the beach and is lucky enough to see a fantastic sunset every day. She talks a lot and is so active that she can't even stand still when brushing her teeth (she has to walk around the house!). The only time of the day that has to be done calmly is the morning routine, because Adriana hates having to get ready in a hurry (after all, you always have to look impeccable). She loves snails (when she was little she said it would be the menu at her wedding), going out with friends and a good dinner.
Joana Salgado
Lead Brand ManagerJoana has always been original. When she was little she wanted to work in rubbish collection (all because she wanted to know what it was like to ride in the back of trucks) and today her biggest dream is to travel into space. She was born in Coimbra and one of the most remarkable moments of her life was when she did Erasmus in Barcelona (being in a different country and without family support made her grow a lot). She loves playing tennis, watching TV series (she might stay up all night) and travelling. She just can't stand ants - she can't even share a place with them!
Rita Sota
Lead Brand ManagerWhen Rita's then boyfriend asked her to marry him, he did not do it for less: at the end of a stand up comedy show, in São Jorge Cinema, he made the long-awaited proposal. The wedding has already happened, the honeymoon was in New York (the trip of her dreams) and Maria was born! Rita loves sport, gym, books, series and travelling - she just hates the rain! She admits she is addicted to chocolate and popcorn and has a mania for cleaning and organisation.
Ana Silva
Account ManagerAna is the number one fan of comedian Pedro Teixeira da Mota - so much so that she never misses a show or an episode of one of his podcasts. Born in Espinho, she loves going to the beach, walking, sleeping and eating good food (as long as it doesn't contain coriander!). She never misses an opportunity to travel and ranks the first time she went to London as one of the best moments of her life (in fact, she even dreams of living in the British capital, with her boyfriend and a dog). The other moment she'll never forget was when she made her Girl Scout promise.
Bárbara Carvalho
Account ManagerWhen she was little, Bárbara dreamed of the day when she would be a famous singer - so much so that she organized talent contests with her friends. She ended up choosing Social Work, but soon realized that it wasn't her path; she switched to Communication Sciences and finally found the path that makes her happy! Her only vice is the gym (which she never misses, even on vacation). She also enjoys listening to music, dancing, watching series and, of course, attending all her Benfica matches (always dressed up).
Beatriz Gonçalves
Account ManagerBeatriz was born in Dornelas, a small village in Viseu. For her, a perfect day combines her dogs and nature - there's nothing she likes more than going for a walk to enjoy the silence. In her spare time, she enjoys reading novels, traveling (and getting to know the cuisine of each country), watching the sunset and singing in the shower. She loves eating corn (she can eat spoonfuls!) and can't stand spelling mistakes. The most memorable moments in her life were the arrival of Benny (her dog) and the Coldplay concert.
Daniela Costa
Account ManagerDaniela was born in Lousã and loves travelling. In fact, her greatest dream is to travel the world with a backpack on her back (she's already had a similar experience, when she did an interrail). She can't resist animals, food (particularly sweets) and the sea. She's completely addicted to coffee (thankfully there's always coffee available at Creative) and Netflix marathons. She has a habit of talking loudly and can't stand people who eat with their mouth open. She also has a peculiar habit: when she gets home she always lies down for five minutes before doing anything.
Gonçalo Bofill
PR & Communications ManagerGonçalo was born in Lisbon, but it was the south bank of the Tagus that won him over (he is a staunch supporter of this area and guarantees that there are no better beaches in Portugal). He's an optimist by nature and, as you'd expect, can't stand pessimistic people. In his spare time he enjoys practicing Krav Maga, going for walks with his family and watching detective series (as a child he wanted to be a detective, like Sherlock Holmes). The birth of his two daughters and watching the Champions League final between Porto and Monaco live were the most incredible moments of his life.
Catarina Gramaço
Digital Performance ManagerCatarina loves music, especially alternative rock from the 80s and 90s (a taste instilled in her from an early age by her mother). Even today, she never misses an opportunity to attend a good concert. Born in Évora, she remembers with nostalgia the afternoons she used to spend at her grandmother's house. She loves watching the sunset, as long as it's not cold and raining. She can't sit still (if she's sitting down, she's always swinging her foot) and her dream trip is to visit all the countries in South America. She's a big fan of tapioca (she eats it every day) and açaí.
Ana Nascimento
Lead Graphic DesignerAna loves eating M&M's and she doesn't do it just any old way: she eats them by colours! She was born in Lisbon but her trips to London were very happy moments. She loves eating snails and chocolates, but she can't stand snakes or any other crawling animal. Ana chooses the French actress and activist Brigitte Bardot as her idol and confesses that she has never missed an episode of "The War of Thrones" and the iconic series "Sex and the City".
Beatriz Silva
Lead Graphic DesignerA fan of animated films, Beatriz dedicates her spare time to illustration (which comes in handy as she is one of the talented designers on our team). Born and raised in Fátima, she loves chocolates and can't stand mess. When she was little she dreamed of becoming a hairdresser and maybe that's why she can't leave the house without looking in the mirror (after all, you have to make sure your hair is in the right place!).
António Gonçalves
Senior Graphic DesignerFrom the descriptions of our team you can probably tell that almost all of us have something in common: a mania for organisation. And António is no exception to the rule: he is a perfectionist, very tidy and organised (which means that, like almost all of us, he hates disorganisation). Believe me, when you have so much work to do, this is a valuable quality! António loves listening to music, watching TV series, reading, meditating, playing guitar and keyboard. The most remarkable moment of his life was when he played at the opening of the school year. His biggest dream is to reach the state of wholeness (and he is well on his way!).
Isabel Tojo
Senior Graphic DesignerIsabel is a native of Évora, so it's no wonder that she loves bread. In fact, for her, there's no dish that doesn't deserve a nice slice of Alentejo bread to go with it. She is passionate about travel and dreams of going all over the world (as long as it's places without spiders!). Her free time is spent drawing, trying new flavors and learning new things. Her laugh is so particular and characteristic that she has already managed to get an entire train carriage laughing! Like most of us, she can't live without coffee.
Luís Alves
Senior Graphic DesignerLuís was born in Vila Franca de Xira. As a child he wanted to be a veterinarian, but design eventually won him over. He loves soccer (one of his addictions is playing Football Manager), cycling and swimming. He also never misses an opportunity to watch a series, write and paint. Her trip to South America was the most memorable of her life (especially when she went to Machu Picchu). She dreams of visiting all the continents and confesses that she has a few superstitions (like not cutting her nails on Tuesdays and Fridays, lest that bring bad luck!).
Andrew Fernandes
Web Development ManagerAndrew was born in Paranaguá, Brazil, and when he was little he dreamed of being a football player. Coming to Portugal was one of the most remarkable moments of his life (curiously, he started working in our agency a few days after he arrived). He is very clumsy, so he usually breaks things and trips. He loves going out with friends, reading and e-games (and hates grumpy people). He confesses that he can't resist energy drinks and has a habit of doing everything in even numbers. His biggest dream is to travel all over the world.
Fernando Dornelles
Senior Web DeveloperFernando was born in Porto Alegre, in Brazil, and as a child he dreamed of being a footballer (but eventually surrendered to programming). He is a family man and so there is nothing that makes him happier than travelling and discovering new places with his wife and son. In fact, this couple was destined to be together - so much so that they were born on exactly the same day! He loves playing PlayStation, watching Marvel movies, listening to music and eating chocolate. He is also a fan of crime series and enjoying the good and simple things in life.
Olga Klimova
Senior Web DeveloperOlga was born far away in Russia - but Lisbon ended up falling in love with her. As a child she wanted to be a painter, a veterinarian or any profession that would allow her to help others. She loves animals (especially cats), anime, drawing and volleyball. In her free time, she loves a good movie or a detective series. She is extremely organised - her desk is always impeccable - and she just can't stand spiders and waking up early. She is completely addicted to games and dreams of the day she will participate in the creation of one.
Tiago tavares
Senior Web DeveloperTiago is one of our programmers and loves what he does. So it's not surprising that most of his free time is spent in activities that, for most of us, are hard to decipher (like Python AI/ML, UNIX, BASH scripting and steam). But he still has time for board games, walking and reading. Born in Albergaria-a-Velha, he lives in the small village of Valmaior. He is one more of the coffee addicts of our team and loves to play chess. He is a dreamer and believes that we should always keep hope, in any circumstance.
Sérgio Garcia
Junior Web DeveloperSérgio is a fan of hard rock and metal - and believes that the best way to solve a complex problem is to listen to music with black eyeliner. When he was little he wanted to be a guitarist and even today he spends his spare time DJing. He never misses an opportunity to eat chocolate mousse, but he can't do without sushi and vegetables. The trip to Munich to celebrate his 43rd birthday was a fantastic moment in his life. He's a neat freak, so he organizes everything by type, color and sequence (or he wouldn't be a Virgo).
Andreia Pacheco
Lead Multimedia SpecialistAndreia was born in Paços de Ferreira and, as a child, dreamed of becoming a dentist. If you want to see her happy, take her for a francesinha - she can't resist! Just do not be late, as Andreia likes punctuality. In her free time she likes watching TV series (she admits she is addicted to Netflix) and taking online courses (after all, it is always good to learn new things). A trip to Madrid to visit Parque Warner and the Santiago Bernabéu stadium was one of the best moments of her life. Now she's looking forward to Santorini, Greece - her dream destination.
Luís Barros Cardoso
Video & PhotographyLuís practiced competitive swimming and swimming is still one of his favorite pastimes (he says he likes to be underwater, with only his thoughts). The only thing he likes more than swimming is watching movies (the only time he can sit still). One of the best moments of his life was attending the Cannes Film Festival and watching one of his favorite directors, Ruben Östlund, win the Palme d'Or. He likes the sun and the heat and, if it were up to him, it would be summer all year round (he's not a fan of cold and snow).
Sofia de Carvalho
Business ManagerSofia is always up to date with the latest fashion trends and knows all the makeup tricks. When she was little she wanted to be a doctor, but in her early teens communication and creativity won her over. She loves dogs and can't pass one without petting it. In her spare time she enjoys reading, marathoning series, going to the movies, practicing Pilates, going to the beach (in summer and winter) and watching soccer matches (she's Jude Bellingham's number one fan). She loves to travel and dreams of visiting Japan.
Luís Santos
Senior FinanceThere's not much we can say about Luís - and that's because to the rest of the Creative Minds team, Luís speaks "Chinese". He spends his working day saying "DRI", "DRO", "DMR", "SAFT" and other such acronyms. We have no idea what he's talking about, but it must be something very serious and important. Always focused and concentrated (no number, deadline, paper or statement escapes him), he talks about accounting as if it were his native language.
Ana Reis
Finance AssistantDuring the day Ana dedicates herself to numbers, but in her free time she has another kind of fun: dancing. She has travelled more than thirty countries and can't tell you which was her dream trip (because they were all special). She loves animals - she has dogs, cats, turtles, birds and even an iguana - and believes that giving her twin sons the chance to grow up in a "mini-zoo" is a privilege. She's a fan of Mexican food, books, yoga, series (she loves marathons!) and embroidery.
Beatriz Nunes
Junior ConsultantBeatriz was born in Lisbon, but has changed her address a few times: she's lived in Alenquer, Leiria and now Bombarral. As she's close to the beach, she takes the opportunity to watch the sunset at Baleal whenever she can. Having lived in various places has brought her many (and good) friendships, which she never forgets. She loves to travel - her goal is to visit as many countries as possible (as long as they are spider-free) - and to photograph every moment. In her spare time, she can't do without the relaxation that coloring books bring her.
