ABOUT
Creativity has been my language for over 13 years as a way to learn, to connect, and to help brands tell stories that matter.
I’m a creative director with over 13 years of experience in communication, strategy, and design. I started my career as a graphic designer, built strong foundations in visual communication, and later specialized in motion design, where storytelling and design came together. Over time, I expanded my focus into creative and art direction, where the work became as much about leading people and shaping ideas as creating them.

Skateboarding has always been a big influence in my life. It taught me to see the world through a creative, challenging, and playful lens, an attitude that still guides my work today. While completing my BA in Graphic Design and a 2D & 3D Animation course, I began my professional journey in 2013. Since then, I’ve worked both freelance and in-house, collaborating with global brands such as Google, Meta, Robinhood, NEOM, BMW, Vodafone, Casio, The Agency, WWF, Vans, and many more.

Throughout this journey, I’ve gained skills that go beyond design: from storytelling and strategy to creative direction and problem solving. Today, I help brands craft stories that connect with people and move culture forward.
Over the years I’ve collaborated with agencies, studios, and brands, building diverse experience in communication, design, and direction.

Nothing speaks louder than the people we create with and the bonds we make along the way. Here are a few words from those I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside.
“As our Creative Director, Filipe didn’t just bring ideas to the table, he helped reshape how we think, work, and dream as an agency. His dedication to repositioning Blue Pepper was a game-changer for us, from redefining our internal processes to shaping our voice and our brand.”
Djáli Campos
CEO & Founder
Blue Pepper Agency
“I loved every brainstorming that I did with Filipe. We always could imagine something big and share awesome ideas! I also admire his ambition and his organization. He is absolutely a person from whom I learned a lot.”
João Pinto Paulo
Product Designer
Bliss Applications
“Without a doubt one of the best motion designers I’ve ever worked with. It’s impressive how Filipe managed to understand all the ideas in detail, and he always goes further. I also have to mention the professionalism and ability to overcome all challenges in time, even those that seemed impossible.”
Francisco Projecto
Creative Director & Founder
BASLR Lisbon Creative Consulting
“One of the qualities I value most about Filipe is his ability to genuinely add value to every discussion. He doesn’t simply give an opinion, he explains the reasoning behind it. As a leader, Filipe was incredible: approachable, supportive, and always able to bring different solutions to the table.”
Maria Reis
Graphic Designer
Blue Pepper Agency
“I had the pleasure of working with Filipe Cordeiro. He is a designer that listens and applies his skills to develop good and fast results. Surely, not only as a person but also as a professional, I strongly recommend cooperating with.”
Ricardo Silva
Art Director
A Bola TV
“When I joined Blue Pepper, I was still a junior designer. Filipe taught me how to think before designing, how to approach creative problems with intention, and how to see design as a tool for communication rather than making things look good. He pushes people to become better without ever making them feel small.”
Martim Martins
Graphic Designer
Blue Pepper Agency
“Filipe is the Master of Motion…and a great Skater! He has a very professional approach to all projects, always delivering in time and with high quality.”
Tiago Perdigão
Former Head of Marketing
