I am always looking for new and surprising ways to tell brand stories, by focusing on simple strategic creative ideas. I have worked at English, Swedish, Dutch, Chinese and other multicultural agencies. Including Saatchi & Saatchi, Lowe, TBWA, BBDO and BSUR Shanghai. I have won 45 national and international awards for creativity and effectiveness. These prizes cover commercials, radio spots, posters, print advertising, online games, websites and even packaging design. My speciality is impossible deadlines.
