My name is Carlos Eduardo, aka Cadu. It sounds like ká-doo, but kay-doo is fine too.

I'm a Brazilian Art Director and Designer from Recife — a seaside city in northeast Brazil with beautiful beaches and an unfortunate history of shark attacks. I'm currently based in Madrid, working as Head of Art at Havas Creative.

Like any advertising cliché, I also had a band. It's called Prume. We played some pretty big gigs around Brazil and somehow got one of our songs close to a million streams on Spotify. You can still help us get there.

On the side, I'm also trying to build the best surf brand in Brazil. It's called Jão.

Over the years, I've worked with brands including adidas, Google, Nike, Coca-Cola, Netflix, Disney+, PepsiCo, Atlético de Madrid and Stellantis.

Thanks for stopping by. Feel free to reach out for a coffee or a surf. Who knows.
