I am a creative director, an avid cyclist, a former competitive climber and a mask enthusiast (not the Covid kind). I love making things with great people, whether those are ads, films, apps, social experiments or shark cages. I have had the pleasure of working both in Europe and the US with many of the great brands and have had my work recognized by most of the major awards. Before getting into the ad world, I designed futuristic drilling tools for the oil industry.
