Who I am
Creative strategist and pop culture fanatic
I am a creative strategist and social media expert who has been helping global brands thrive on digital for over a decade.
Working with a plethora of B2C and B2B companies across several industries has given me a unique insight into the digital behavior of both consumers and enterprise audiences. I am an experienced consultant and mentor for companies and multi-hyphenates in creative agencies.
I am also an active social media creator who shows his passion for pop culture in hundreds of blog posts and YouTube & TikTok videos. The inner fanboy also influences my professional life – directly and indirectly.
I’m endlessly inspired by future possibilities, current events, and pop culture classics. Not to mention brands that go the extra mile.

Building brands that care
I’ve worked with a wide range of industries and in various roles, always striving for creative excellence and building brands that care about the needs of their audience. I currently work at the brand agency Bou.
