In my career I’ve been fortune enough to work for some the best agencies and for some the world’s most beloved brands.

 

I enabled Chinese students to design their own Volkswagen,

inspired Christina Aguilera to produce a number one hit, designed a dark ride

in Sweden and wrote the world’s first 3D printer-generated commercial.

​

Thanks to my experience in all relevant areas of brand communication, I deliver valuable insights and engaging stories that unleash the full power of emotional communication – to strengthen your brand and to sell your product even better.

​

I believe in the power of creativity as the driving force behind everything that really moves us forward - without it, our world would just be like 001101001000100101110.
