DAVID MILLS
Brief Biography
With experience as a Creative Director, I’ve worked with renowned brands like Universal Music, Elton John, Rio Tinto, Suzuki, and Honda, tackling diverse creative challenges. While I excel at directing and managing teams, I’m just as happy to get behind the Mac, designing logos or diving into the creative process when needed.
I pride myself on delivering work that meets and exceeds client expectations, combining experience with a practical, collaborative approach to ensure every project is a success.
And to make the creative process fun.
