story
I started in agencies. Learned to build from scratch and defend ideas in a room.
Then Amazon. Eleven years. First senior designer in Europe to Creative Director across five markets. Always in environments where no template existed yet.
I love a pitch and I follow the work to the end. Concept, craft, QA all of it. I can talk the work because I did the work.
