F A L K
EXECUTIVE CREATIVE DIRECTOR

About

I am an award-winning Creative Leader with international experience and a passion for bringing brands and ideas to life in all places.

With my professional DNA rooted in advertising and design, I spent the last 15 years heavily focused on the digital realm. Throughout my career, I had the pleasure of working with some of the most talented people, distinguished creative agencies, brands and production companies in the world. I founded a brand agency and a digital production studio in Amsterdam and the interactive branch of an acclaimed content production company in Los Angeles. Over last four years, I have been busy building and mentoring creative teams across our entire US operation and help build out the ever-growing Media.Monks Monastery for our clients.

The crossroads of creativity, technology and design are my favorite place to be.
