About

My creative philosophy is about finding the deepest truths-whether they come from culture, consumers or the company. If there isn't truth to what I'm saying, no one will believe it. 

I also believe that creativity should be fun. If it's painful and soul crushing, no one is going to want to read or watch it. 

I love being involved of all aspects of the creative process, from the brief to the concept and from script to production, publication and optimization. I stand firm that speed is the enemy of craft, but through clear, honest communication, I believe we can make some truly amazing stuff.

I'm a diverse creative with experience in everything from strategy to production. I especially enjoy working for underdog and challenger brands, maximizing production and media budgets though creative solutions that earn my partner clients an unfair share of attention. 

Did you skim to this part? Or is it what you were looking for?

Fun stuff about me: I'm a Redbull Flugtag champion. I've played all kinds of stages with rock bands and symphony orchestras. I'm not scared of a soldering iron. Once, I stood on the wing of an airplane at 10,000 feet. I can smoke a spiral-cut ham with a tangy apple-jelly and scratch-made chipotle BBQ sauce until it glistens. Is your mouth watering or are you still thinking about the airplane stunt?
