COLLECTIVE DEVISE, serves as the imaginative headquarters for our Creative Director, NANO NÓBREGA. Nano's journey began amidst the vibrant energy of São Paulo, Brazil, the world's 3rd largest metropolis and a renowned global hub for surf, skate, and urban art culture.

Nano's youthful days were spent chasing waves, skateboarding, and immersing himself in the world of art exhibitions, all while pursuing a Marketing degree at the international school, University Mackenzie and working at the renowned surf magazine, FLUIR. In his mid-20s, he underwent a transformative journey to Southern California, enrolling in a multimedia and design program at Platt College in San Diego. After graduating, Nano excelled in skate, snowboard, and surf design, collaborating with industry legends like Rodney Mullen, Mark McKee, Bod Boyle, Steve Douglas, Gary Valentine, and the Hill brothers. His talent led to groundbreaking creations for renowned brands like World Industries and Blind Skateboards. Eventually, he co-founded Dusters California, a top selling lifestyle skate brand under the Australian house of GLOBE Brand. At Dusters, Nano curated remarkable collections inspired by cultural icons like The Doors, Farrah Fawcett, Jimi Hendrix, Kiss, The Grateful Dead, COPE2, and The Endless Summer.

In 2017, Collective Devise “CODE”, officially emerged as a dynamic creative hub, continually expanding its roster of brands, collaborations, and involvement in the entire spectrum of brand development. From revitalizing the classic 80s surf brand, Ocean Pacific, to joining forces with the esteemed collective of artists, California Locos, Nano has consistently steered brand development and creative direction across diverse projects.

CODE excels in a multitude of roles, encompassing directing and producing photoshoots and short films, to curating art shows and managing trade expos. Under the creative direction of Nano, CODE has crafted innovative apparel and sporting-goods collections, overseeing licensing agreements, product manufacturing, and global distribution. These endeavors have led to exceptional collaborations with celebrated artists, athletes, and brands, including the LA RAMS, Playboy, Mister Cartoon, Robert Williams, Rick Griffin, and the legendary skater Bob Burnquist.

Our future is teeming with possibilities, with an unwavering mission: to continually embark on collective endeavors. At CODE, diversity and the unification of creative minds drive us to create products and tell stories that enhance life. We're committed to a lifestyle that inspires global freedom and creativity, fostering a global community of individuals who are unapologetically themselves. The journey is limitless, and the future is brilliantly open.
