ABOUT ME

 

About

Hi! Fran here.

I currently make ads for a living. But I also did so much more.

From running around the newsroom, a super short stint in magazine, making an MV for a celebrity singer, having my name in the credits of a (now Netflix) movie, and winning awards as an illustrator, my life of ‘trying things out’ shaped me on how I work creatively as an art director.
