ABOUT
I’m a creative producer with over 20 years of experience delivering complex projects across brand content, publishing and artist collaborations, working with agencies, global brands and NGOs across Europe and Asia.
As a producer with a hands-on design background, I bring both creative direction and technical understanding to every project.
I founded and run three ventures — Studio Rarekind, a media production studio; Soi Books, an independent publishing imprint; and Stickerbomb, an international book series and brand with over 800,000 copies sold.
I work across disciplines and teach myself whatever a project demands, from organising teams and managing production to design, editing video, motion graphics and building websites. It gives me a rare overview of how all the pieces fit together.
Always open to discussing your new project.
