Thanks for stopping by, Nolwazi!
I've pulled together work that sits right at the heart of this brief: immersive storytelling, retail environments and experiential campaigns where the brand has to do real work in physical space. The common thread is building audience experiences that feel considered from every angle.

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 director and brand designer, originally from San Francisco. For the past 15 years I've been building brands, campaigns and immersive experiences for consumer lifestyle, FMCG and experiential brands. The kind of work that has to earn attention, hold it, and mean something to the people it's made for.
I lead with both strategic thinking and hands-on craft. That means I'm as comfortable defining a brand's direction from scratch as I am art directing a shoot, designing a system, or building out a world people can step inside. I've done it at Secret Cinema, Gousto, Photobox Group, Talking Tables and beyond, and I bring the same energy and intention to every brief, regardless of scale.
I believe the best creative work happens when strategy and instinct work together, when teams feel genuinely supported, and when the work is made with real care for the audience on the other end of it.
If that sounds like the kind of creative partner or leader you're looking for, let's talk.
