I’ve been very fortunate to be part of a remarkably diverse body of award-winning work, each piece with its own unique cinematic design driven by the core idea. As an ex-agency creative director it is obvious for me to align pure entertainment for the viewer with the idea of the script, and it very much drives my thinking throughout the process. I am constantly in awe of the creativity of the people I work with, some of whom are in the most celebrated agencies in the world like Wieden+Kennedy, BBH and BBDO. Growing up, my family lived in many cities (London, Oslo, Geneva, Stuttgart, Singapore, Boston, Portland, New York, Minneapolis, Barcelona, Palma, Johannesburg, and Cape Town) – and I still draw heavily from the influences of all these places. I studied art, robotics engineering, economics, photography and screenwriting, and drummed for art school bands. Music is always a major personal creative inspiration. I am currently based between Cape Town and London with my wife and little boy.
