Henrique Driessen

Founder
Elephant Skin

Born and raised in Brazil, Henrique Driessen embarked on his journey with an initial foray into advertising, but his true passion led him to switch paths and pursue a degree in Architecture and Urban Planning. This pivotal decision laid the foundation for his future endeavors. In 2015, he moved to Miami, where he specialized in real estate developments, igniting a passion that would lead to the creation of Elephant Skin in 2018.

Elephant Skin has experienced exponential growth, transforming from a small team of two into a global powerhouse of 130 professionals across more than 30 locations, with offices in the USA, Canada, Brazil, Dubai, Portugal, and most recently, Asia.

Henrique’s addiction to presentations and storytelling has been the driving force behind Elephant Skin’s success. He has found a way to infuse his vision into real estate developments worldwide, delivering impactful narratives that captivate and inspire. A passionate advocate for archviz, Henrique considers himself a devoted fan of artists and has assembled a multidisciplinary team dedicated to delivering “wow” stories on a global scale.
