I turn ambitious visions into revenue systems.

Designing hybrid business models, building the digital infrastructure that captures demand, and creating the brand narrative that makes people want in.

§01 / THE VALUE PROPOSITION

I help organisations bridge the distance between their current reality and their maximum potential: designing high-impact strategies, then building the systems that execute them.

Whether transitioning a hospitality project into a niche community, evolving an NGO from donation dependency to financial hybridity, or architecting a personal brand into a category of one, the focus is the same. Build scalable systems that align profit with purpose, and make the path from stranger to believer feel inevitable.

What makes this profile rare

Four capabilities, one operator.

01

Business Model Design

Hybrid revenue architecture, tiered pricing, MVP validation, unit economics.

02

Brand & Narrative

Positioning, archetype systems, voice, and the emotional hook that sells the concept.

03

Digital Infrastructure

Email funnels, landing pages, lead magnets, automation. The demand-capture layer.

04

Content & Creative

Multi-platform content systems, web design, editorial design that ships.

The result: strategy that ships. A vision becomes a model, the model becomes a funnel, the funnel becomes revenue... handled by one person who sees the whole chain.

§02 / SELECTED WORK
Four engagements · strategy to system to revenue

Selected work.

01 · Brand Expansion

Grupo Cósmica

From a beloved local farm brand to a global creative-community ecosystem.

Context

A Brazilian ecosystem of three brands: Fazenda Cósmica, a countryside farm; Casa Cósmica, an urban space; and Clube Cósmica, a membership community, anchored by a professional gastronomy operation. The vision was exceptional. What was missing was the execution layer to reach an international audience and convert attention into members and revenue.

Challenge

A brilliant but internal-facing strategy. No unified brand hub, no international presence, no lead-capture mechanism. Every advertising dollar bought attention that immediately evaporated; no email list, no nurture, no system to hold a lead between one event and the next.

Solution

Designed and began executing the full go-to-market and digital infrastructure layer: a residency MVP to validate the membership hypothesis with real revenue, an email-first capture-and-nurture engine, a unified social architecture, and an international content strategy built on the brand's strongest universal hook, the Loneliness Paradox: we live connected, yet more alone than ever.

Key moves
01The Residency MVP+

Designed Cosmica Residency as a 7 to 10 day founding-cohort experience, 10 to 16 spots, all-inclusive at US$1.5K per seat, that mirrors the entire Clube experience in miniature, validating willingness-to-pay before any expensive platform was built.

02The Trojan-Horse Funnel+

A free, editorially designed city guide, "C-Side of São Paulo", as the lead magnet, into a 3-email nurture sequence, into the residency application. The guide ends, by design, at the farm.

03The landing page+

Built and launched the conversion-focused residency landing page, live, with pricing tiers, gallery, and a single clear CTA into the email list.

04Unified social architecture+

A hub-and-spoke @grupocosmica / @clubecosmica model, a five-line editorial content system, and a respectful audience-transition plan turning an existing Portuguese audience into fuel for the new international hub.

05"Don't build the app yet"+

The highest-leverage recommendation: replace the planned custom app, a R$200K line item, with a web-based MVP stack of email, WhatsApp and BetterMode, saving the budget for proof of engagement first.

Outcome

A complete, launch-ready growth system: live landing page, designed lead magnet, full 3-email nurture sequence, and a 30-day content calendar, converting cold attention into an owned audience the brand controls.

02 · Strategic Repositioning

HOGAR

A total identity and revenue-model overhaul: from generic hostel to a destination creative community in the Atlantic Forest.

Context

A hospitality project in Ubatuba, formerly "Lar Arco-Íris", with a generic eco-hostel model and unpredictable revenue. It had a remarkable physical asset: Atlantic Forest, a waterfall, reliable WiFi, no phone signal. But no brand, no diversified income, and no system to fill beds consistently.

Challenge

Move away from the low-margin, commoditised hostel model toward a high-value, sustainable community for digital nomads and artists, and do it with almost no budget: under R$1,500 for launch.

Solution

Authored a complete phased action plan to pivot the brand into HOGAR, meaning "home", a creative co-living and retreat space built around a signature differentiator: the Cacau Ecobar, a ceremonial-cacao bar no competitor could replicate. The model rests on a self-reinforcing flywheel; retreats fill the bar, the bar creates content and community, and content drives the next retreat.

Key moves
01Three-pillar revenue model+

Private retreats carrying 50 to 60% of revenue, creative co-living 25 to 30%, and the Cacau Ecobar with experiences and products 15 to 25%.

02Tiered co-living: "HOGAR Reset"+

Explorer, 14 days: taste the reset, a short immersion to seed word-of-mouth and feed the content engine. Creator, 30 days: the core stay; remote work, ritual, and creative output in the forest. Resident, 60 to 90 days: anchor occupancy, long-term residents who stabilise revenue and become the community core.

03The Cacau Ecobar as brand engine+

A full MVP menu of ceremonial cacao drinks, cacao cocktails and local petiscos, blending hospitality with ritual into a content-rich value proposition.

04Phased maturity path+

A four-phase roadmap, Foundation to Systematisation to Scale to Maturity, with week-by-week actions, partnerships, automation, and hiring triggers tied to revenue.

05Exit strategy+

A 12-month capital-accumulation plan toward a R$1M land purchase, with five financing routes from owner-financing to community equity.

Outcome

A documented operating system designed to let the owners transition to 70%+ remote management within a year, on a staged revenue ramp that starts at R$15K per month and matures past R$100K per month.

03 · Personal Brand & Category Design

Kaelum

Architecting a multi-passionate creator into a category of one: the Reality Architect.

Context

A solo creative, musician, philosopher and strategist, operating in the crowded manifestation and business-content space on TikTok and Instagram, at risk of being read as "someone who does many things". The challenge of every multi-passionate founder: coherence.

Challenge

Avoid the multi-niche trap. Position one person with many expressions as a single, cohesive, commercially expandable brand; distinct enough to escape a saturated market and structured enough to monetise without diluting the art.

Solution

Designed a complete personal-brand architecture built on one idea and a new category: the Reality Architect. Not coach, not influencer, not creator. One philosophy, expressed through three coordinated branches. Reality bends around identity.

Key moves
01Archetype system+

50% Outlaw for rebellion, 30% Sage for intelligence, 20% Creator for beauty. Rare, ownable, hard to copy.

02Trinity architecture+

The Artist for broad emotional reach, The Host for community and belonging, The Architect for high-ticket revenue. A thinking tool that prevents brand drift as it scales.

03Phased build & flywheel+

A Signal to Bridge to Scale roadmap with a hard 14-day launch rule and a parallel revenue track running from week three, not sequentially.

04Offer ecosystem+

A four-tier ladder with external names a cold audience understands in one sentence, holding a $500 minimum entry and premium positioning from day one.

05Content & voice system+

Six content pillars, an "Identity Truth Bomb" signature format, and a cinematic urban visual identity treated as an active brand asset.

Outcome

A complete, launch-ready brand operating system: positioning, archetype, architecture, offer ladder, content engine, visual identity, and a 12-week build plan with explicit success signals, engineered for a solo operator to run sustainably.

04 · Financial Sustainability

L'Arche Brazil

Designing financial independence for a social-impact community, without compromising its mission.

Context

L'Arche Brazil is a life-sharing community for people with intellectual disabilities in São Paulo, running on a frugal budget of around R$60,000 per month that was 100% dependent on donations; exposed to unpredictable revenue, with little room to grow.

Challenge

Reduce donation dependency and build predictable income while staying absolutely faithful to the community's mission and charism. Financial strategy that generates human value, not just money, with low risk and ethical guardrails for resident participation.

Solution

Authored a Financial Sustainability Project to progressively move the community from a donations-only model to a hybrid one, with the long-term goal of doubling the monthly budget over 2 to 3 years, structured around a 90-day pilot so every format is tested before it scales.

Key moves
01Five-pillar hybrid model+

Grants and institutional funding; workshops and experiences at R$150 per person; a solidarity natural-cosmetics line at around R$70 margin per kit; arts, music and public speaking; and transversal branding and digital comms.

02Revenue-mix shift+

From 100% donations to a diversified target mix across donations, grants, workshops, cosmetics and arts. Donations stay vital, but no longer the single point of failure.

03Grants engine+

A reusable 2 to 3 page "anchor project" concept to submit to foundations and L'Arche International.

04Social enterprise+

A solid-bar cosmetics line, soap, shampoo, conditioner, sold via workshops, events, and a future subscription, with a clear path from 250 to 500 kits per month.

05Centre of experience+

Repurposing the community atelier into a paid-workshop venue that generates revenue, content, and new donor relationships at once.

06Risk & governance+

Small pilots, technical and regulatory support, ethical limits on resident participation, and simple indicators reviewed every 90 days.

Outcome

A staged, low-risk roadmap with a 90-day pilot, so leadership can decide what to scale, adjust, or stop based on real data. Days 1 to 30: foundation. Days 31 to 60: launch pilots. Days 61 to 90: measure and decide.

§04 / THE OFFER
Let's build · one sprint, one week

The Signal Sprint.

A 7-day sprint for multi-passionate creators. In seven days you know exactly who you are online, and exactly what to post for the next 30.

For creators whose content feels scattered, whose bio keeps changing, who were told to pick a niche and felt that advice amputated them. The filter question is simple: do you keep rewriting your bio?

By day 7 you hold
01Your positioning in one sentenceBuilt from your identity, not a niche.
02Three content pillarsThat hold everything you are, so you stop splitting yourself.
03Fifteen video ideasMapped to those pillars.
04Five ready-to-film scriptsIn your voice, not a template's.
05A 30-day posting planZero decisions left about what to say for a month.
The week

Day 1. A 60-minute diagnosis call, recorded.

Days 2 to 5. I build: positioning, pillars, ideas, scripts, plan.

Day 7. A 30-minute delivery walkthrough, plus the full written document.

After. Seven days of async voice-note support.

The guarantee

If you finish the sprint and still do not know what to post for the next 30 days, you pay nothing.

The promise is not going viral. The promise is clarity you can count: one sentence, three pillars, fifteen ideas, five scripts, thirty days. And I am not selling this from a mountaintop; I am building the same thing in public. This page is the portfolio.

Message me on Instagram No forms, no funnels. A conversation.
The silent list

Leave your email. When something real ships, you hear it first.

No sequence, no schedule, no noise. A line from me when there is something worth your attention, and silence the rest of the time.
