Profile

I connect strategic brand thinking with creative execution.

For more than 25 years I have developed communication at the intersection of brand, corporate communications and creative direction — for international organisations across automotive, technology, healthcare and B2B.

I work comfortably between strategy and execution: shaping the story, setting the creative direction, leading interdisciplinary teams and making sure the final work stays sharp all the way to delivery.

Good creative direction is not decoration.

It is clarity, character and consistency.
