About

I work where business meets the people it's trying to reach.

Berlin. 15 years across agencies, BMW and my own ventures. I directed BMW at CES and Art Basel, built the music venue Honey Lou from an empty shell, and I write and run software for companies, among them Nicolas Berggruen Holdings. Strategy and execution, same person.

Most people in this field pick a lane. I never did. In one week I might write positioning for a brand, draw a floor plan for a venue, and fix a bug in production. To me it is one job. You direct something better when you have built it yourself.

That range shows up in the work. Honey Lou grew revenue 150% in two years and ran more than a hundred events in its first. WAYSA reached 500 retail points across Germany. The BMW campaigns I led ran across four continents. I stay on after launch and keep things running.

Personal

Outside the studio

When I'm not in the studio, I'm exploring other cultures, art, music, or philosophies. Making music, playing piano, or painting.
