Hi. I’m an allround creative professional with a long track record in the creative industries.

In the Netherlands I first worked as an audiovisual designer and as art director at an advertising agency.

After working six years for a Hong Kong based Australian media production company, I set up Mediabox Productions in Hong Kong, catering to clients in the Hong Kong and Asia Pacific market.

I’m a graduate of the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. My short docu Martinu's Muse won first Place at the iPhone 5th iPhone Film Festival (2015). My radioplay Confessions of a Voice (1991) was broadcasted by NCRV.

Apart from my commercial work, I have produced various independent short films.
