Hi. I’m Olga. I lead video teams, write the ideas, and sign off every frame.

V1 · INTRO.MOV

I’ve been doing this for a while. And I’ve got a few things to show for it.

Creative direction. Production. All the complicated bits in between. I’ve spent a career figuring those out. And occasionally making them look easy.

Ten of many.

A few things I’ve made, led, shaped, broken, fixed and occasionally lost sleep over.

Booking.com · 2026 · Creative Lead, via Superside · Made with AI

30-Year Evolution Show Opener

Three decades of Booking.com, in the time it takes to sit down.

Wrote the script, directed the voiceover and led the team through AI production and post.

TomTom · 2026 · Creative Lead, via Superside · Made with AI

Less Phone. More Tom.

No camera, no crew. A phone buzzes, a driver flinches, the tape rewinds and Tom keeps it calm.

Took the client’s concept through AI production, the edit and the finish, and led the team.

Day in the Life

Shaped the creative, led the team and oversaw the work through production and post.

Before you ask

Comfortable with AI?

Daily. Two of the films above were made entirely with AI. Machines make the rough cut; we make the final one. They’re getting ideas, though. We’re keeping an eye on them.

Can you do scale?

My team ships a hundred-plus assets a campaign. Every format, a lot of languages.

And taste?

Twelve years in, ten of them making MTV look like MTV. A shelf of Promax Golds.

Where are you?

Johannesburg, mostly. Often somewhere else. Working with teams wherever they happen to be awake.

Something brewing?

A brief. A problem. An unreasonable deadline. I’m all ears.
