You can call me an art director, creative, storyteller, designer. I’m a medium agnostic creative with both agency and in-house experience. I love nothing more than concepting and crafting great ideas - be it a broadcast or TikTok campaign, IRL stunt or branded merch line for gen-z . I’ve done a lot of fulfilling work – my goal in life is to never stop learning and to make sure it’s always fun.
