About

Formerly a small business owner of 5 years, that leveraged an advertising and design background to build a successful dream project, to own and operate a fitness studio. Learning through the growing pains of any small business, I’ve acquired new operating and planning skills that I feel I received a hands on MBA. Being skilled in Typography, Art Direction, Graphic and Web Design through the Miami Ad School (M.AD) was my foundation, that led to future success. Today, I’ve successfully crossed back into the advertising and marketing world with much more experience and confidence.

Having lived in California, France and Brazil I’ve been able to cultivate from various cultures’ qualities in my thinking and creative process. I’ve called South Florida home for most of my life but as Elvis Presley once said, home is where the heart is.

WHAT’S GASVAN?

Actually, it’s. a clever way to use my last name. GONCALVES has 9 letters, I separated it into 3 rows and saw that if I criss-crossed (X) it spelled out GASVAN - (mind blown emoji here please). That’s how the name came to be.
