About me

Hello, I'm Hans. I'm currently serving as a Partner & ECD of Design at Rethink - Cannes Lions 2024 Independent Network of the Year and one of Fast Company's Top 10 Most Innovative Creative Agencies.

I've had the pleasure of working with a wide range of global brands (including Kraft Heinz, IKEA, Tazo, RXBAR, Molson Coors, Nike, EA, Mattel, Arc'teryx), non-profits, and household names in the making.

Our work together has been recognized with a variety of awards (including a D&AD Black Pencil), press (from Rolling Stone to Ripley's Believe It or Not), and the occasional cease and desist letter.

But the real prize is getting to work alongside relentlessly curious, passionate, and good-humoured human beings. If that sounds like you, let's make magic.
