Bio
Neil Boorman
Oksana is obsessed by pushing the best possible creative and craft. She will always explore day one thinking to find new ways into briefs and aims to pass on her experience and passion to others on projects. Oksana has ideated, pitched and won countless client briefs with TikTok's priority EU and global clients from Burberry to P&G. She is an essential senior member of TikTok's best practice creative department.
David Dao
I think Oksana's greatest strength is her awareness of culture. That and her willingness to absorb absolutely everything and learn. She's a fantastic artist and joy to work with. I've noticed people always laugh a lot when they're around Ox (as everyone calls her). Her ideas are utterly original and therefore she needs to work with people who are open to what might seem at first, a little bit of craziness. I've worked with Ox as a creative partner and a creative director, so I have seen how hard she works for the team and how hard she works for the person running a project. I also saw how quickly she adapts, learns and applies. I have a huge amount of respect and time for Ox. She has a quick mind and an unforgiving sense of humour. She does not suffer fools gladly but respects good, solid, insightful creative direction. She was first hired by Richard Flinton back in the day when Fallon was Fallon. I am certain that Richard spotted something special in Oksana and one day, I am sure, the world will see exactly what he did.
