Barbara
Coelho-Santos
A developing creative director, social content creator and editor drawn to beauty, fashion and the details that make a story memorable.
Born and raised in Boston, I’m now based between Boston, Sarasota and Virginia Beach. Life as a military spouse keeps me adaptable, curious and comfortable finding inspiration wherever I am. I share that life with my husband, Joab, and our miniature dachshund, Ayla.
I love capturing the energy of a real moment—whether it is a launch day, an event, a small business opening, travel or sports—and shaping it into social-first content. My strength is noticing the story, gathering the right raw moments and using pacing, light, color and atmosphere to make the final edit feel alive.
Outside of creating, I’m usually traveling, following Formula 1, discovering new beauty and fashion references or practicing DJ mixes.
Original visual work and self-initiated campaign concepts, brought together in one evolving portfolio.
