BIO
I am an Art Director and Creative Director based in London, specialising in image direction, campaign development, and visual storytelling across fashion, sport, lifestyle, and culture.
My background began in graphic design before naturally evolving into art direction during my time at Wonderland and Rollacoaster, where I led editorials, brand partnerships, advertorial campaigns, and creative teams across print and digital. This foundation shaped a multidisciplinary approach to image-making, combining concept, composition, casting, styling, typography, and production into a cohesive visual language.
Since then, I have worked across editorial, agency, in-house, and freelance environments, helping brands define and elevate their creative output. At Axel Arigato, I played a key role in shaping the brand’s image direction as it moved into a more premium space, developing campaign worlds, visual systems, and cultural partnerships, including its collaboration with Mulberry and expansion into the US market.
As Senior Art Director at Communion Studio, I led creative across the Zegna account under the Creative Director, contributing to the development and execution of multiple global campaigns. This work focused on strengthening Zegna’s positioning as a leading luxury brand through considered image-making, refined storytelling, and a clear understanding of contemporary menswear culture.
Since leaving Communion, I have continued to work independently as a freelance Art Director and Creative Director, collaborating with brands including Nike and Mizuno across global sports campaigns. This has included football-focused work for clubs such as Inter Milan, bringing together sport, culture, performance, and image-making to create campaign work with a global reach.
Across my career, I have built a strong network of photographers, stylists, filmmakers, designers, artists, and cultural voices, allowing me to shape work that feels both visually refined and culturally connected. My practice sits between strategy and execution, developing ideas, building worlds, and directing imagery that helps brands move with clarity, relevance, and intent.
