short

Long story

Hi there. I'm a European Art Director based in Virginia, US, with 15+ years of experience at agencies like BBDO, Publicis, Leo Burnett, and Havas. Full-service creative, equally comfortable developing concepts and bringing them to life across film, digital, social, print, and activations, with AI fully embedded in how I think, explore, and shape ideas. Available solo or as part of a team, for full-time or freelance roles in the US (green card holder), or anywhere else, just a video call away.

Short Story Long

The Band-Aid Portrait

A campaign built around a world-record portrait of a world champion, crafted from 33,246 hand-placed band-aids, each symbolising the pain and perseverance behind greatness.

The ChatGPT Billboard

A billboard that went viral at the early age of ChatGPT.

The Tailor-Made Safety Jacket

In Europe, every car must carry a safety jacket on board. The problem is, they usually look terrible. So we created one that reflects the refined luxury of the Volvo S90.

The non-invitation

How do you make 100 people extremely grateful NOT to be invited to your wedding? You give them something better than an open bar: a 96-page book.

Jörd

Product launch of an oat drink in Denmark, the UK and Sweden. Warning: lots of Nordic vibes inside.

Ca$h

A fun campaign for a lottery game, featuring some AI-generated social media assets.

Knorr Back Label

From LGBT-Free Zones With Love

Hand embroideries

My embroidery skills probably won’t be directly useful to you, but considering that most of my recent pieces took over 150 hours to complete, they do say a lot about my dedication to craft and attention to detail.

Wow, you really scrolled all the way down!

You must like the work.
