Hi there, I’m Leo

I’m a Senior Art Director based in Mumbai, India

My Story

A South African national, born in Sofia Bulgaria, living and working in Mumbai India.
Constantly challenging my boundaries and pushing the limits of my creativity.

I have more than 15 years’ working experience in design studios and publishing houses in South Africa, Zanzibar and Mumbai.

Throughout my career, I’ve approached every project with a strong sense of purpose, curiosity, and creative energy. While I’m confident working independently, I’ve found that the most impactful work comes from close collaboration, building on shared ideas to push the creative further.

I have learnt that having a platform to question and develop ideas harnesses greater creativity - although realising creative inspiration doesn’t come without its obstacles! Time management and working to tight deadlines are important in any industry, but the foundations and biggest challenges of design lie in communication. In all my work, I have relished these challenges and used them to fuel my ambition and maintain my own high standards.
