From January 2015 I start my journey around the world. New experience, meet new people and share knowledge inspired talks about creativity and I realized: step out of the comfort zone to get inspired your creativity grow exponentially. The creative globetrotter and entrepreneur is an initiator, inspirator for everybody need an injection of creative energy in any part of the world. Currently teaching at MIADA in Chongqing China. But always open for new opportunities. Now targeting for Scandinavia in 2017
I am a well skilled Art Director with many fields of expertise. These difficult times demand you to not specialize in just 1 or 2 fields. My specialties are in art direction, creative concept & strategy in different types of media. This includes print, online media, social media, radio and TV. I have a true passion for advertising because it's satisfying to see an idea be executed to perfection. I am also skilled in graphic design, design, industrial/interior design, signing and events.
Major skills as a person: innovative, creative, disciplined, pro-active, perseverance, responsible, loyal, determination
Recent experience includes the following brands: Porsche, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Bentley, Seat, U-Boat Worx, T-Mobile, Coca Cola and Shell
I have also done voluntary work for the following non-profit organisations:
- Bundesjugend e.V. (German Young Hard of Hearing organisation) - Volunteer
- Volunteer at IFHOHYP (International Young Hard of Hearing organisation) - PR Commission
- Volunteer at SH-Jong (Dutch Young Hard of Hearing organisation)
- PR-Board Judoclub Made
