I'm an award-winning, Helsinki-based designer and researcher. I have spent my entire career exploring
how we experience digital.
To do that, I focus on data, design and humans.
Born in Brazil, 1982, first years of Millennial generation.
My work background is in design, marketing and analytics. I have worked with clients like Stora Enso, Finnair, Pfizer, CAT/Finning, Fiskars, Reima, Paulig, VR, Posti, Adega Brasil and others.
I have a doctoral degree in contemporary culture, in which I coined the term paramedia — the information that surrounds everything we read, watch, listen to or share.
My research and media projects have been featured at the MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), University of Salford, Catalunya Open University, Rhizome Artbase New York, MoMA San Francisco Blogs, videoKILLS Berlin, Aalto University, Nordic Digital Culture Network and many other venues.
I live and work in Helsinki, Finland — with my wife, Noora, a Pinterest influencer, and two sons, Amos and Noa.
IʼM SÉRGIO.
IʼM AN EXPERIMENTER.

CURRENT PROJECTS
PARAMEDIA
How do we choose what to read, watch and listen to? My doctoral thesis sheds light on the media we consume before we consume media.
