Hey! I’m Kadu Giacomini, a Brazilian chef and lifestyle creator living in New York City. I’m looking for someone who truly understands social media strategy — not just posting trends, but building something with purpose. I believe I have great potential online, but I need guidance to understand who I am, how to grow, and how to express my personality in a way that feels authentic and natural. I’m not the type who posts to post. I appreciate things that have meaning, beauty, and a reason why. My world combines Culinary Arts, food, science, art, Fashion, travel, and lifestyle, and I want to convey that on my social platforms in a way that’s honest and elegant. Ideally, I’d love to have a few meetings to review my current social media presence, discuss areas for improvement, and learn how to become more comfortable presenting myself online (I’m naturally a bit shy, especially in English). If you have experience (and patience, haha) in personal branding, strategy, or creative direction, and you enjoy helping people find their voice online, I’d love to talk. Thank you Kadu Giacomini
