ABOUT

I’m a multidisciplinary creative, who build his path to become the Head of Design in Serviceplan Bubble. I find joy in challenging every visual representation from an unseen perspective and I stand curious to explore each day new craft techniques. Currently, I’m trying to prove myself as a game-changer of the telecommunication industry for O2 and other brands part of Serviceplan Group.

Prior to Serviceplan, I obtained my Master’s Degree in Architecture and had been part of the advertising program part of Miami Ad School Europe which gave me the opportunity to experience working in 3 of New York’s top ad agencies, Droga5, TBWAChiatDay & 360i. What started as an architecture career, turned out into a creative journey bigger than the buildings I thought I will ever build and I’ll keep on taking every opportunity to nourish my creative output in a meaningful way.
