I can’t say what sparked my creativity more: the countless hours spent watching music videos on MTV—with their wild color gradings and absurd storylines—or the eternal boredom of watching the Tour de France on endless French roads. I still believe Since I Left You by The Avalanches is the best music video of all time. And who would’ve thought I’d be nominated for a UK Music Video Award years later? Certainly not me.
I’ve worked as a creative and creative director at Jung von Matt, TBWAHeimat, and HERC, Amsterdam (Now ACE) before joining and building Mother’s newest office in Berlin. As creative director from its very beginning, I helped shape the agency and drove its growth across every piece of business.
My self-initiated projects have been featured in prestigious annuals and received press attention from The Guardian, VICE Magazine, HuffPost, Fast Company, It’s Nice That, and more.
I strongly believe there are no limits to what an idea can become or how it manifests—whether absurd or emotional, through classical formats or things that haven’t even been invented yet. And I love it all even more when it’s built on top of a great strategy.
