— Creative Director, dreamer in sneakers, and part-time time traveler.
Born in Bishkek (the most beautiful -stan, trust me), I grew up between mountains and curiosity before landing in Hamburg to study at Miami Ad School Europe.
From there, I zigzagged across the globe — 🎯 Interned at Uncle Grey (Copenhagen) 🔥 Apprenticed at Ogilvy (São Paulo) 🚀 Hustled at Deutsch (NYC)
Each stop gave me a new lens.
Then came the real game: 🔧 Jr. AD at Grabarz & Partner Hamburg (Porsche, Burger King) 🍫 AD at Scholz & Friends Hamburg (Milka) ✨ Senior Creative at Dentsu Creative Paris — where I spent 3+ years crafting work that hit awards lists and the hearts of new audiences.
Highlights? – A Halloween party at Historical British Prison – Bold, sex-positive campaigns that made noise. – Two digital drops for premium French spirits. – A full-funnel 360° relaunch of France’s biggest loyalty program.
Now co-piloting bawe agency — helping brands win Gen Z and Alpha with stories that stick.
