Editor-in-chief
Capricho magazine (São Paulo, SP - Brazil)
When Capricho's former editor-in-chief was invited to assume a higher position in the company, I was invited to become editor-in-chief of the magazine. I'm now responsible for a team of 22 people, both involved with writing and editorial design.
January 2006 – December 2006
News and Features Editor
Capricho magazine (São Paulo, SP - Brazil)
Capricho is Brazil's most traditional teenager magazine. In 2006, I was invited to join a team that was about to develop and implement a new editorial project for the magazine. As the News and Features Editor I was deeply involved in the creation of new sections and my main concern was to be able to bring new subjects and approaches that would broad the universe of a 15/16 year old girl. "1,2,3,4", a visual section showing 4 different objects under the same theme is definately inspired by the ideal of celebrating the differences that Colors has held since its creation. And "The Incredible Story of..." intends to tell the stories of girls or guys from around the world with a life that was either exciting or very different from the reality of our readers (the example bellow tells the story of an ice-cream designer).
January 2004 – January 2006
Assistant Editor
Superinteressante magazine (São Paulo, SP - Brazil)
Superinteressante is a popular science magazine (similar to the Italian Focus, although it has a broader range of subjects). Because it's directed to a young audience, texts published by Superinteressante manage to balance deep research and a good amount of humour. As well as writing and investigating stories, my job was to edit three of the magazine’s sections. My favorite, called "What if", aimed to present an imagined scenario to the readers, always based on information and speculation from specialists deeply involved with the subject (the magazine cover showed bellow, for example, is the result of the always uptodated question "what if drugs were legal?")
Screenwriter
"No Capricho" TV Program - Prodigo Production Company/MTV Brazil (São Paulo, SP - Brazil)
I was hired to write the screenplay for a 2 minute beauty and fashion show exhibited on MTV daily. The show purpose was to give teenagers tips on trends, beauty and fashion in a cool and young way.
January 2000 – November 2001
Trainee reporter
Palavra (Belo Horizonte, MG - Brazil)
Created by cartoonist and writer Ziraldo (famous for children’s books e.g. "Flicts" and "Menino Maluquinho"), Palavra used to focus on Brazilian regional culture – an unusual subject in a country that has quite a lot of inferiority complex – and my job was to help journalist Wagner Merije to map the cultural activities that were going on in every one of the 27 states of Brazil. Although Palavra launched its last edition in August 2000, the magazine is still remembered for its relevancy in the editorial scenery of Brazil.
