This project is the convergence of my professional and personal life. I am a Brazilian journalist with 13 years of production experience in Europe, the Middle East, and my own country. My name is Felipe Paiva, and this is The Field Desk.

During my 8 years based in France, I learned the craft of storytelling, research, sourcing, filming, and much more, all in pursuit of becoming a better journalist.

After a 4-year venture at a media-tech startup that brought me back to Brazil, I realized that producing journalism for international media is the intersection sweet spot of my main interests: geopolitics, languages, and journalism.

If you're looking for someone who understands Brazil, understands the global context, speaks a language you're comfortable with, and knows the process of producing good journalism, I am that guy.
