About me
A senior marketing and branding creative with fifteen years experience in the design and communication industry. A proven strategic and effectiveness track record, as well as sustained P&L growth. Co-founded 81Agency, a strategic and creative agency for the modern affluent mindset in 2014 and 81Lucks, a concious apparel brand in 2018. In my spare time I'm most often found in contemporary art galleries, live music venues, road biking in the countryside or in a yoga studio.
