Hello, my name is Ricardo Macedo but I go by Dado Pontual as well.
As a designer and art director, Iโm passionate about creating and thrilled on working within a multidisciplinary team to solve brandsโ design and communication problems. With more than a decade of experience, I've worked with brands like Ambev, P&G, OldSpice, Head&Sholders, Pantene, Duracell, Pampers, Gillette, Danone, Vitarella (food industry), Pitรบ (Brazilian distilled spirit), Nossa Beer, and much more. Besides design and art, my other passions are food styling, photography, technology, typography, and crafting. And my favorite hobbies are LEGO, traveling, and desserts.
Right now I'm working as a Creative Director in a team with 12 people. It is a challenge to juggle creative director roles while also doing the "hard work" of an Art Director but I enjoy both parts equally.
Right now I'm also specializing in UX, UI, and other knowledge areas connected to these 2 in my postgraduate course of Interaction Design for Digital Artifacts.
