Welcome to my website.
(I have to admit this picture is a lie as I’ve lost about 50% of that great hair by now)

I’ve been working in advertising for 18 years, or maybe about 25 years if overtime counts as well. Starting out in 2004 as an intern, I’ve since worked for some of Germany’s best agencies such as Springer & Jacoby and Jung v. Matt.

After being a Creative Director for several years in Germany, I was curious to gain international experience. I got offered a job at Wieden+Kennedy and moved to Amsterdam.

During my career I’ve collected many international awards including a Cannes Lion (which is still my favourite). But more than awards I like making good work that gets recognition and is effective for brands.

If you need freelance support or have an interesting job to offer please send me an email.
