About — A + H

Hi there

recruiters, stalkers and people who accidentally ended up here.
We’re Alex Mendes and Hugo Catraio, a creative team with 15+ years of experience, working together for the last 12 or so, since we moved to London.

We have worked at both small edgy places and super traditional ones and love them equally. Work has taken us to Tokyo, Sao Paulo, Chicago, Munich, Milan, New York, awe-inspiring Knutsford and Moscow. The one in Scotland, that is. Highlights include convincing Celine Dion to helps us sell dog toys, underarm casting sessions, being shouted at in Japanese for taking a picture of a foam-making machine and more.

Outside work you can find Alex between buckets of fluorescent ink doing screen printing, telling off his over-friendly Vizsla, trying to force people to go to the gym or taking incredibly rewarding courses, such as blacksmithing. Hugo spends his free time running after his 6yo, his 1yo or just running after Wombles at Wimbledon Common. Even after over a decade in London he's still positive that it might just be BBQ weather next Sunday.

As proper Brazilians we’re both passionate about football - so much so we even created our team Londres FC.  We’re always happy to chat, have a coffee, Zoom, join your 5-a-side or whatever is going on by the time you read this. Just say hi.
