WHO?

Hi 👋 by now you’ve probably discovered that my name is Victor. I am a Creative Director with Art Direction background based in London. I grew up in a garage that my dad used to run where I spent my childhood watching things get built, fixed and taken apart. I think that's where my obsession with making started.

By 15 I was already freelancing as a graphic designer. Since then I've spent over 20 years working across advertising, graphic design and music — including a stint as a professional musician that led to one of the wildest moments of my life: sharing a stage with LCD Soundsystem.

Outside of work, I run my own solo music project Vince Vincent — writing songs, playing multiple instruments, and creating all the visual world around it. It's my creative lab.

I speak three languages, grew up between cultures, and have spent my whole life picking up skills obsessively — from filmmaking to sushi chef to scuba diver, and many others. I'm genuinely curious about everything, and I think that's what makes me a better creative.
