👀 My Best Friend would say I’m…
Insatiably curious and a calming presence
"I worked with Luke at Futurism for 3+ years and I can say that he is, without a doubt, the most brilliant creative I’ve ever had the privilege of working with (and I’ve worked with a lot).
Luke has the unique ability to both rapidly concept creative ideas and oversee them through execution. The breadth of different creative projects Luke was able to oversee was astounding. Over the course of our three years together, Luke scripted an entire science fiction series, hundreds of short videos, and dozens of creative articles. He developed copy for landing pages, oversaw production shoots, and published a book. Whatever your creative challenge is, Luke is the man for the job.
He’s also not only a brilliant creative, but absolutely wonderful to work with.
I will continue working with Luke whenever I can, and I couldn’t recommend someone more strongly.”
Alex Klokus (Founder & CEO, Futurism)
"Luke is a writer's writer. He would churn out these gorgeous manifestos, be it for bread or for life insurance, and you would be #mindblown. He was on my team across CPG, auto, and entertainment brands and seamlessly danced through a range of voices.
He also created work with incredible depth and insight. He is an extremely strategic creative and knows how to connect dots on his own, turning insights into inspiration for purposeful creative.
His love for emerging tech consistently pushed the envelope in what we delivered to our clients and had a wonderful ripple effect on the creative team to think outside the box.”
Juliette Geraghty (Executive Creative Director, Critical Mass)
