With a career spanning nine countries, my background in digital design and animation evolved from Creative and Art Director roles at agencies like Wieden & Kennedy, Saatchi & Saatchi, Publicis and Dentsu back into a deep focus on the craft.
From leading the UI design of the Xbox 360 to shaping regional or global campaigns for Coca-Cola, Nike, Sony, KIA, and Powerade, I’ve spent two decades operating at the highest level of brand storytelling. My portfolio includes work for a diverse client list such as Samsung, Samsonite, Estée Lauder, Suzuki, American Express, Fox Sports, Johnnie Walker, and Remington.
Today, I’m a Hands-on Director working directly in the engine to define 3D look development and cinematic visual design. I collaborate with studios and brands on projects that require not just a vision, but a high level of execution. I thrive at the intersection of both.
Beyond the visual side, my role involves shaping ideas early, pitching concepts, and guiding teams through complex processes — bringing the strategic clarity of a seasoned CD to the visual craft of a director.
I’m drawn to projects where atmosphere, technical excellence and a clear, global point of view matter.
