Bio
Verena Trautvetter
Duncan is wonderful to work with. He is always hands on, on top of things and makes sure that the creative output is at its best. We have worked together for one year on global campaigns for adidas where Duncan has worked on many different digital assets and commercial activation. I found Duncan’s technical knowledge always very helpful as well. Besides being a great creative, he is also fun to be around and cares about his environment. He has been a great member to the team and I highly recommend him!
