Who am I?
I’m Eduardo Pinheiro, a visual artist with over 20 years of experience in the creative industry — working mainly with motion design, animation, editing, art direction and photography.
I started out in São Paulo, where I worked for nearly a decade at major advertising agencies, including roles as art director, motion designer and creative coordinator. These years shaped my technical foundation and gave me the chance to lead and collaborate in high-pressure, fast-paced environments.
In 2014, I founded my own studio, Fluido Filmes, where I spent 10 years creating and managing audiovisual projects across different formats. I’m used to being involved in all stages of a project — from concept and visual development to final delivery — managing teams, timelines, clients and budgets.
More recently, I’ve been integrating AI tools into my workflow — using them to speed up ideation, animation, post-production and visual experimentation. I’m interested in how these technologies can support, not replace, creative thinking.
Today, I’m based in Lisbon and open to new opportunities — whether in motion design, art direction, editing, or hybrid projects that connect different visual languages.
Fluido Filmes
Fluido Filmes was my main creative project from 2014 to 2024 — an animation and post-production studio that I led both creatively and administratively.
Over those ten years, I directed and delivered over 200 videos for more than 80 clients, including ad campaigns, animated series, branded content, music videos, and post-production for film and TV.
Being a small and agile structure, I was hands-on in all areas: concept development, animation, editing, client management, budgeting, team coordination and final delivery. I also collaborated regularly with partners like Estúdio Rufus, sharing studio space and working on projects together.
Leading Fluido taught me a lot about creative responsibility, team dynamics, and how to keep a production flowing without losing quality — or sanity.
Clients & Collaborations
Throughout my career, I’ve worked with a wide range of brands and agencies, from small studios to global companies. Some of the clients I’ve had the chance to collaborate with include:
Google, Airbnb, Coca-Cola, Colgate, Gatorade, Samsung, Nike, Smirnoff, Tic Tac, Nespresso, Waze, Raízen, among others.
These projects came through different channels — agencies, direct clients, production studios — and covered everything from short animated pieces to full-scale campaigns.

Besides audiovisual work, I also move through other practices that keep my creative process alive and grounded.
I’m a certified yoga teacher, massage therapist, actor, and contemporary dancer. These activities inform the way I think about movement, rhythm, timing, attention and communication — and often influence the way I approach visual storytelling.
I like working across disciplines and exploring projects that combine technique with presence — whether that means building a brand film, animating a concept, or co-creating something from scratch.
