Hello dear interneter.
Welcome to my website. Unfortunately, it’s exactly that: a website. I can’t offer you a drink, take your coat or tell you there’s nuts in it when it’s far too late.
But I can show you some work and tell you a little about what it’s like to be a dyslexic writer. At times my spelling can look like a bowl of alphabet soup. Grammar nazis have done a Mike Tyson on my ears more than once. And after reading or writing for too long my brain feels like a block of cheddar.
So rest assured, it will always bother me far more than it will ever bother you.
I’ve spent nearly one third of my life at Wieden + Kennedy working as an advertising creative, primarily on Nike. Aside from that, I have experience working with clients such as Samsung, Instagram, Facebook, AB Inbev, Montblanc, Heineken, S7 Airlines and Mondelez to name only just a few.
At the moment, I am finishing my first short film that I wrote and directed, produced by Arts & Sciences, and wielding a large and scary harpoon trying to haul in that mythical feature project.

I once had a piece of work that made a kid named Naam the coolest kid in school. His mum told us. And I think that’s the loveliest thing ever.
