Marcos Becker

Independent Creative Director / Art Director

I kill bad ideas for a living. The good ones, I help them survive, sometimes even win awards.

I’m a Brazilian Graphic Artist and Creative Director based in Dubai, working with agencies and brands from Paris, Singapore, Riyadh, and beyond. After 20 years in advertising, I’ve learned that creativity is 50% talent, 50% caffeine, and 100% deadlines.

My work mixes design, storytelling, and a bit of chaos, for brands like Emirates NBD, Adidas, Riyadh Air, Vespa, and Clorox. Some of it ended up in Lürzer’s Archive and even at the Poster House Museum in New York, which is great… but I still get excited when a client simply says, “We love it.”

I was granted the UAE Golden Visa as a Graphic Artist, probably because they saw my browser history and realized design is all I do.

Always open for freelance collaborations, creative consulting, or any project that sounds too crazy to approve.

Let’s make something dangerously good.
