WORDS & VISUALS
For me, it's all about creating and telling stories. Whether you are building brands, making art - or any other stuff, you should make it matter. It matters to me.
I have been lucky to work like this for decades in the advertising industry - as an art director, creative director, and designer, while also delving into other artistic disciplines like painting, writing, and photography. Fortunately, there's no end to the need for creativity.
