Hi! I’m Wally Oliveira, a Brazilian Art Director currently at GUT São Paulo.
Born in the countryside of Pará, in northern Brazil, my work is shaped by a deep interest in visual culture, photography and crafted storytelling. I’m drawn to projects where design, image and cultural references come together to create bold and emotionally driven visual narratives. I work across branding, campaigns and digital experiences, always with a strong focus on craft, graphic language and image-making.
Over the years, my work has been recognized by Cannes Lions, The One Show, Clio Awards, Young Lions and Clube de Criação, including Gold and Silver at Cannes Lions, Gold at Young Lions Brazil and Silver at the Young Lions International Competition. In 2025, I was also invited to join the Young Ones ADC jury.
