I began in branded entertainment, digital
shops and traditional design. In the last
four years at AKQA, I’ve helped the
agency become one of the most respected
and awarded shops around, on both
sides of the Atlantic.
Over the years, two things have become
very clear: first, the ‘line’ that everyone
is either above or below is irrelevant.
Second, if you don’t have a story
with a clear idea at its core, you’ve
failed. This comes above media, above
budget, above politics and above ego.
Once you’ve got it, the rest falls into
place with (relative) ease.
While not working, I’m developing
a graphic novel as one half of House
& Chapel and learning how to play the
accordion. Yes, the accordion.
