Creative Director
Form follows
consciousness.
Coming from a 100% digital background I create meaningful digital products and brand experiences for clients and organisations seeking innovative concepts and distinct visual identities.
My approach is rooted in co-creation and an inclusive style of leadership. By embracing openness, listening and the paradigms of user centred design, I guide projects from vision to implementation weaving together strategy, creative direction, and technology. Making the complex simple in healthy and fluid collaborative processes is wat I aim for as a top priority.
With 20+ years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of working with cultural institutions, global brands, medium-sized enterprises, and international publications — committed to excellence and best possible results in each partnership.
