Hello, I’m Jil.

I tried to write about myself in the third form but it became a bit weird as I’m not dead yet. Also there are more important things to talk about.
Feel free to choose a topic.

Short story.

First - let’s go back to who I am and how I can help you cause that’s why you are here. I’m an independent Senior Art & Creative Director specialised in culture and lifestyle, who worked full time and now freelance across Europe.

Long story if you really wanna know.

Everything started in Berlin 12 years ago working at Lodown Magazine, the first English magazine in Berlin focussing on Art and Street Culture. In the same year I ended up at Heimat/TBWA. Yes, all the rumours are true. Graduation followed. Next chapter was antoni GmbH - first global lead agency of Mercedes-Benz where I worked across concept, brand design and look & feel. Afterwards I had a little intermezzo at Boros, not the second world war art gallery bunker but his agency with focus on political and cultural institutions. Many years followed at Jung von Matt. Too many years later someone from London called and I moved over to work Wieden + Kennedy. Last update: I’m living in Amsterdam, where I am now writing this shamless biography from.

We are almost there.

Sometimes people don’t know if I’m serious or making fun. It depends on your reaction. In London I noticed I have to lighten the topics while in Berlin it’s fun to suffer. Amsterdam has a bit of both.

Thinking.

I’m doing *this now for a long time.

Reminscing.

When not doing commercials or petting dogs, I like to analyse horror films and do films and images with my half serious production company called ‘Hard Times Productions’. Besides that you will find me either painting in weird postions or dissociating.

Still here? Impressive.

*Succession & Suffering.
