I’m a widely experienced art director/creative director. I have writing skills, but art direction is what runs in my veins. Mainly, however, I’m a strong conceptual thinker, in every possible way and area, including positioning and strategy. Through my experience as a creative director, I’m accustomed to reviewing and guiding teams. I love working with brands, and brilliant, innovative ideas make me intensely happy. On the personal level, as well as being the father of three sons, I’m also a welder and a biological painter.
