  • Creative direction

    The central idea of a campaign or platform, and everything that follows from it until it exists in the world.

  • Worldbuilding

    A world of its own for your brand: rules, story, aesthetics and rituals people can step into, remember and come back to.

  • Immersive and interactive experiences

    Spaces where people step into the story, move through it and take part in it.

  • Activations and games

    Games and experiences for events and festivals that people want to play, replay and share.

  • Shows

    Visuals for concerts, festivals and brand shows: a world for every song, in sync with the music.

  • FOOH

    Videos where something impossible happens in a real place in the city, made to stop the scroll.

  • OOH

    Content for screens in airports, stadiums and billboards that reads from afar and sticks.

  • Brand animation

    3D animation and characters for campaigns, social, screens and events.

  • Music videos

    Music videos and artist content with digital worlds, characters and effects.

  • Art direction

    A project’s visual language: how it looks, how it feels and why.

  • Event booth design and build

    Booths and brand spaces for expos and events, from design to build, with the experience built in.

  • Web design and development

    Websites and web experiences for brands, from a campaign landing page to a web app connected to the store.

How I join your project

  1. 01

    Creative and art direction

    I develop concepts from a brief or give visual shape to an idea from your team. I set the tone and visual language so the experience feels true to the brand.

  2. 02

    Interactive experience design

    I design what the audience does and how the experience responds. When an interaction needs testing before production, I build a prototype or a working demo.

  3. 03

    3D production and technical direction

    I produce 3D visuals, VFX and real-time content. Depending on the scope, I coordinate artists and see the technical integration through to installation.

Got a pitch, a show or an activation coming up?
