Creative direction and brand design for lifestyle, consumer, and experiential brands. Strategic enough to set the direction, hands-on enough to see it through, and built on one belief: brands don't win by being liked, they win by being felt.

Brands I've Worked With
Myself and the AVR team have loved working with André from day one. He has a creative flair which makes its way into all elements of his design approach and work for us. Andre is a joy to work with; his communication is quick, highly professional and simultaneously incredibly warm. He feels like an extended part of the team, and always has! Totally integral, and I look forward to many more future projects together.
Amy Rowe • Founder and CEO, AVR Events
I love collaborating with André - it’s both productive and joyful. Our ideas evolve beautifully as he brings a deep, intuitive perspective to every project. He’s unafraid to dig into the purpose behind our work, asking the right questions to ensure his visual interpretations are both relevant and stunning.
Matthew Bennett • Senior Creative Director
André was a pleasure to work with—he took time to truly understand our brand and translated that into eye-catching, effective designs. The social media ads and posts he created were visually engaging and perfectly aligned with our tone and audience. His video ads, in particular, brought a fresh energy to our campaigns. Highly recommend him for any creative projects!

Hey, I'm André
I'm a London-based creative and design leader, originally from San Francisco. I lead with both strategy and hands-on craft, defining a brand's direction one day, art directing a shoot or building out a world people can step inside the next. I've done it at Secret Cinema, Gousto, Photobox Group, Talking Tables and beyond.
I believe a brand's real job is to make someone feel something, nostalgic, proud, hungry, even divisive, because the moment someone feels something, they start to belong to it. That's why empathy sits at the centre of how I work. Strategy gives that feeling direction. Craft gives it shape. Together, that's how a brand becomes part of someone's life, not just their feed.
If you believe great work should make someone feel something too, let's chat!
