Creative Consultancy for the Age of Uncertainty

Intro
In a line of work where being ahead of the curve is currency, I believe it's vital to have a solid sense of where culture is going. Now that our time is defined by climate crises, geopolitical instability, and complex identity politics, this requires not just understanding trends, but also larger sociopolitical currents and conceptual frameworks, while acknowledging our wider responsibilities.



Offer
I work as a strategic consultant, creative director, and cultural producer across industries. Drawing on 20 years of practice in communication design, through which I graduated through all ranks of creative labour, I can today bring vision, context, leadership and know-how to most projects. 

I offer individual consultancy sessions, weekly production sprints, and project packages over 4-6 weeks. Vibe checks are free.

My work items range from executive sparring, to cultural forecasting, (brand) analysis and communication strategy, identity and community development, design direction, interaction design, store design, scriptwriting and artwork production. 

As co-founder of the research and design practice Neo-Metabolism, I have access to a network of exceptional creative talent that is doing culture-defining work.



Credentials
Gratitude to all my people, in the many organisations that invited me to contribute to their vision and creative presence in the world.








Client Review
“I can hardly put into words how I feel after reading it: this document is a piece of art. It's so cohesive. I'm able to see and feel the identity and vision 
that matches (brand name’s) soul. I love its humanity and the circular communication you've created as well.”
