Pep is one of the best creative directors and designers I have worked with in my 15 years. He is diligent with the process to ensure he has all the info he needs before proceeding. He delivers outcomes that are well crafted, on brief, and on time. He is smart, fun and detail-oriented and cares very much about the end result. He listens and responds to feedback and is always open to approaching something in a new and different way.

Pep was the Creative Director of wildeyes.co.nz a new website for kiwi kids using screens....to get kids offscreen, outside and engaged in nature. We went through a rigorous RFP process canvassing more than a dozen web agencies in order to identify a design partner for the project. Pep’s deep thinking, collaborative attitude and strong portfolio made him an easy choice. As the lead designer Pep was responsible for developing a brand identity for NZ children that not only resonated locally, but also positioned the site to compete with the myriad of international digital content fighting online for kiwi kids’ attention. The brand he delivered was well researched, fresh and frankly...very cool. Right throughout the design process across both brand and UE, Pep prioritized our audience of kids. As a result we feel every aspect of the brand and site design has had its best opportunity to succeed with connecting to its digital community. We always felt we had a true partner on this project with Pep and the collaboration was both expansive and creative. Pep helped us take the seed of our idea and turn it into a more compelling, comprehensive and considered offer than it would have been otherwise. Two years on, the brand work and site design remains contemporary and appealing to its audience of highly discriminating digital natives. No small achievement in an environment where 6 months is a long time. In 2017 we took out a Silver Award at the Best Design awards for the site. I would highly recommend Pep to anyone looking for an incredible creative head and design lead for their project.
