HELLLLO :) I am currently a Group Creative Director at Ogilvy in Dubai, leading and working closely with a team of talented creatives based across the MENA region. My role is essential in creating work that resonates. Experience in many markets has made me comfortable navigating different cultural and business landscapes.
As a curious creative, I thrive on solving problems and strive to truly understand the business needs of my clients to deliver the returns they seek. I believe creativity is a powerful language that can emotionally connect with people. The perfect combination of art and technology is where the magic lies. Through a collaborative approach with compassion and kindness I create ideas, and experiences that capture imagination. I’ve had the pleasure of working across multiple disciplines and with a wide range of great clients, including South African Tourism, Abu Dhabi Tourism, IKEA, ABinbev, National Geographic, BMW, Audi, Toyota, Lexus, Jeep, Honda, Investec, FOX, Mondalez, Vodacom & Vodafone to name a few.
I’ve been fortunate enough to be recognized at every major advertising festival. My honors and awards include D&AD, Cannes Lions, The One Show Awards, The Clio Awards, London International Awards, Webby Awards, Apex Awards, Loerie Awards, Dubai Lynx, The Bookmark, and The Creative Circle Awards. A career highlight for me was walking away with a Grand Prix at Cannes.
I feel privileged to do what I love and to have learned from so many inspiring people over the years. My formal education is from The AAA School of Advertising, where I studied Visual Communication, Art Direction, and Graphic Design.
