As a Film Director, I leverage my background in ad agencies and cultural knowledge to merge meaningful and entertaining storytelling with well-crafted and unique aesthetics. With a keen eye for detail, I have directed commercials for diverse industries (Porsche, Audi, H&M).

Recently, I have ventured into the world of thought-provoking science fiction through my upcoming short films, "21 Days" and "The Elected," which explore themes related to the acclaimed series "Black Mirror," such as the vast amount of data existing about us and the AI takeover of our democracy. The short films are currently in post-production.

As a Global Group Creative Director, I spearheaded a diverse portfolio of clients, including prestigious brands such as Porsche, HSBC, and Sands Resorts, while also supporting other brands within the group. Leading a multicultural team hailing from China, Malaysia, Singapore, Germany, and Belgium, we achieved significant successes in the global account for Porsche by securing important global and local car launches and defending the account in a pitch that kept the client for further 3 years. Under my leadership, we defended all the current accounts and renewed their respective contracts. Additionally, we played an important role in the multi-million global pitch for BSH (Bosch-Siemens), showcasing our expertise and strategic thinking.

Also under my leadership, Saatchi&Saatchi Shanghai reclaimed its position on the creative stage, thanks to our work that garnered one of the few coveted D&D pencils in China. This accomplishment exemplifies my commitment to pushing creative boundaries and delivering standout campaigns on real projects.

My strong client relationships and ability to lead a multicultural team in a fast-paced, dynamic environment proved instrumental in our collective achievements. I consistently pushed the boundaries of our creative work and ensured the seamless integration of creative ideas across various platforms and channels.

As Creative Director, I was part of the team that helped to consolidate four agencies to form Publicis Pixelpark – what turned later into Digitas Pixelpark. Leading the team responsible for the Renault and Dacia accounts, we achieved remarkable success, launching campaigns not only for the DACH region but also global campaigns. We also contributed to the agency's growth and recognition, winning awards and honors, placing Publicis Pixelpark among Germany's most creative agencies in these years. Through innovative campaigns combining technology and truthful insights, our team helped establish the agency as a prominent creative force in the German market.
