15+ years pushing for next-gen creativity in media and communications. Global full-house campaigns and sustainability strategies for commercial brands.

I take on projects related to brand and content strategy, concept development and communication.

A brand developer at heart, I enjoy aligning creative visions and business. I believe a brand grows stronger by creating meaningful bonds with communities, through culture-driven experiences.

Questions of representation and the importance of inside-out diversity is key for me. Many years of communicating values of sustainability are also embedded into my work.
