Hi! I’m Ophelia, a concept creative with a veery strategic brain.

I love to create work that matters - the kind that sparks, sticks and makes people laugh.
I blend strategic insight with out-of-the-box thinking because great works speaks to both the mind and the gut. I live for cultural sparks, bold ideas, and the kind of work that makes your heart skip (or at least raises an eyebrow).

I break rules (respectfully, of course), ask a lot of questions
(sorry, not sorry) and never settle for the safe answer. To me, great work moves people, shifts perspectives, and leaves a mark.
And yes, work should be fun. Always.

When I’m not making ads, you’ll probably find me soul cycling or upside down on a yoga mat. Let’s chat. Could be the start of something cool.
