we are beirada!
from the edges of our country, we create opportunities to transform the world around us.
Beirada Creative Productions believes that creative power emerges on the margins, in unexpected encounters, in voices that have not yet fully echoed. We are driven by the strength of Brazilian cultural diversity, inspired by the vibrant identity of our people, by Darcy Ribeiro, Lélia Gonzalez, and Paulo Freire's liberating pedagogy.
For us, creativity is resistance, innovation is access, and technology exists to amplify ideas and transform them into action. We work purposefully in the areas of Education and Human Development, Cultural and Audiovisual Projects, always with technology at the core.
We want to be a living bridge between talents, cultures, and opportunities, questioning and transforming traditional models that limit creative autonomy and perpetuate inequalities. We advocate for a model of work without exploitation, where each professional receives what they deserve and is respected in their autonomy and creativity. We create with meaning, not just with trends. Our horizon is a society where everyone can live fully from what they create.
who we are
Filipe Sartório
I have a degree in Physical Education, with courses in Statistics and Social Sciences, all from the University of Brasília (UnB). In my professional career, I seek to bring my knowledge in the execution and coordination of sociocultural projects acquired through courses and a wide range of practical experiences. Currently working in the audiovisual market, I am planning the premiere of my first film, a short film that discusses the future of creation based on the emergence of Artificial Intelligence, in a project approved by SEBRAE/PE.
Fernando Puertas
I am Fernando Puertas, a biologist by training, an educator by vocation, and a cultural producer by destiny. I have been working for over 10 years at the intersection of education, culture, and technology. I am a doctoral student in Cultural Studies at the University of São Paulo. I worked with innovation and projects at Microsoft for five and a half years, and now I am the co-founder of Beirada Produções Criativas.
Through workshops, cultural projects, and educational experiences, I seek ways to expand access, democratize knowledge, and create with purpose. My career has taken me through institutions, streets, circles, and collectives. It is in this interstice that I recognize myself: where creation is collective, knowledge is affection, and technology serves life, never the other way around.
Chicco Marola
A unique explosion of energy, musicality, and art. Chicco Marola is a singer, composer, percussionist, producer, and visual artist, with stage experience, recorded music, and works scattered throughout Brazil.
Chicco's work reflects the greatness of Brazil, with its infinite and diverse creative artistic possibilities, alongside the historically constructed inequality that so greatly disadvantages freedoms, especially for black people in this country.
Fernando Sala
Educator with ten years of experience in non-formal education and educational program management for technology. He worked as Manager of Employability Skills Development Programs at Microsoft, as an educational consultant at Nave à Vela, and as a maker educator at Mundo Maker and Faber-Castell. He currently works with developer relations for Microsoft. He has a degree in Visual Arts and is the winner of the Benetton Foundation's Unemployee of the Year Award and the 43rd Piracicaba Contemporary Art Salon with the Repartição Pública Collective.
Nara
Maker and creative educator, public policy analyst for education, social innovator, and specialist in the implementation and management of maker spaces and creative learning environments in schools. With a degree in Image and Sound from UFSCar and a teaching degree in Arts, she is currently pursuing a master's degree in Scientific and Cultural Dissemination at LabJor/UNICAMP. She has extensive experience in the delicate art of finding the missing end of transparent adhesive tape.
Doug
Educator and technologist with extensive experience in inclusion, using educational and assistive technologies to promote learning. Master's degree in Basic Education Teaching and specialist in Specialized Educational Services. Sign language interpreter. I work in teacher training, encouraging the use of digital tools and maker culture in the classroom. I have experience in large-scale projects at the IT Coordination Office in Rio de Janeiro, developing innovative solutions for education.
Naná Viana
Ana Paula de Souza Viana, Naná Viana, is a multifaceted artist: dancer, cultural producer, researcher, and body educator. A 35-year-old Brazilian from Brasília, she moves between African and indigenous dances, funk, samba, and contemporary languages, building bridges between tradition and invention. Her work is a manifesto in motion—a body that dances, occupies, and transforms.
Eduardo Lobo
Hello! My name is Eduardo, nice to meet you! I am from Belém do Pará and currently live in São Paulo. I dream of a more dignified, pleasant society that has a harmonious relationship with the planet, and I believe that Design is a path that enables alternatives for this, as a process of continuous learning, always with the purpose of improving people's lives and helping organizations achieve their strategic goals.
who trusts
“Beirada is the kind of company the world needs: it understands technology, but more importantly, it understands people, and knows that technology is only good enough when it truly improves people's lives. And for that to be possible, you need to be able to perceive, reflect, synthesize, and then act. Simply human.”
Antonio - CEO Souza de Carvalho
“I had an excellent experience with Fernando and Filipe! From our first contact, the service was super professional, attentive, and efficient. The quality of the work delivered exceeded my expectations, demonstrating competence, commitment, and attention to every detail.”

10 mandamentos da beirada
Creativity is resilience
Creating is a political and cultural act. We value ideas that challenge standards and broaden horizons.
Technology exists to serve, not replace
We use technology as a tool to facilitate processes, amplify voices, and enhance human creativity, without ever erasing its essence.
Education is the real catalyst
Knowledge liberates and transforms. Beirada believes that access to training should be democratized and adapted to the realities of those who create.
Work is partnership, not exploitation
We value fair, respectful, and horizontal relationships. We create together, and work only makes sense when everyone grows together.
We create purpose, not trends
We don't follow empty trends. What we produce has meaning, impact, and connection to the real world.
The edges are fertile
Great ideas often arise outside the mainstream. Beirada seeks to listen to and amplify these invisible voices.
There is no innovation without diversity.
The plurality of perspectives, experiences, and cultures is what generates new possibilities. Beirada is built on diversity.
Knowledge should not be a privilege
Information and techniques should be shared, not kept secret. We facilitate ways for more people to create and transform.
Culture, art, and education are forces
They are more than entertainment: they are essential tools for building a more just, conscious, and humane world.
If it's not ethical, we're not interested.
Our work is committed to real values. We do not condone precariousness, invisibility, or exploitation in any form.
