After returning to his home country of Brazil, Patrick headed the Product Innovation team of Havaianas for seven years, winning several design awards that helped establish the brand globally.
Patrick continued to nurture his curiosity by completing an MBA in Innovation Management in Sao Paulo.
Shortly after that, he switched industries to work for Nestlé, where he became Senior Brand Design Manager. His international experience and multidisciplinary background enable him to bridge the gap between the worlds of design and business.
Patrick is currently a Strategy Director at Siegel+Gale based in London and is passionate about designing brand experiences that have a positive impact on people’s lives.
“Fortunately in my career, I crossed paths with Domus Academy. There, I learned how to think critically, to solve problems in the real world. I was challenged by bright minds coming from many countries, and that exchange enabled me to raise my personal bar. The Master in Business Design program gave me a solid foundation upon which I continue to build in my career.”
