About me

 

About

Hey there, I'm David, your friendly neighbourhood Senior Creative & Art Director, navigating the exciting realms of above and below-the-line advertising.

My journey into the world of creativity began in 2010 with various creative agencies in Germany. Fast forward five years, and I decided to chase little David's big dream: to immerse myself in the vibrant creative scene of London. This dream has been unfolding ever since.

Since 2020, I've been honing my craft at The&Partnership. My true joy comes from collaborating with a diverse team of talented individuals. I thrive on empowering others and sharing my knowledge to drive innovation and progress. And yes, I’m not afraid to roll up my sleeves and dive into the nitty-gritty—getting my hands dirty is a particular speciality of mine.

When I'm not navigating the adventures of Adland, you'll find me indulging my passions for design, culinary arts, and sports. Whether it's dishing up a gourmet feast or cheering on my favourite team, I bring the same creative jus to all my endeavours.

Always on the lookout for the next big adventure or a feastable dish, so if you've got tips on either, let's connect!
