Pre 2010: A backbencher, lost in an ocean of endless formulas, chasing a degree in Physics, trying to make sense of the universe—literally.

Post 2010: A curious mind testing fate, landing face-first into marketing communications. Physics out, the art of advertising in. (Sorry, Isaac! It’s me, not you.)

Over the past decade, he's explored the glamorous world of mainstream advertising, having dabbled in everything from above-the-line campaigns to below-the-line tactics as well as digital and social media strategy and campaigns.

2024 & Beyond: He’s looking at someone as enthusiastic as himself to show him the way to something new, interesting and mind blowing. Regardless of the world or medium, his focus remains on fostering collective efforts and delivering creative solutions with a keen eye for strategic insights.

Good chance, you, the reader, can play a pivotal role in this saga. Go on. Drop him a line and see what unravels in the process.
