Hi, i'm quentin.
I’m a freelance writer/creative director based in San Francisco.
As a writer, I’ve always loved the challenge of the blank page.
As an ad creative, I love that the blank page is really a blank web page, blank mobile device, blank social platform, disappearing video, one-hundred-and-fourteen-second piece of content (give or take), art installation, blank wall, blank breakfast cereal, the bowl you eat the cereal in, blank product packaging, blank product, blank search results, blank playlist, blank storefront, blank AMA, blank space, blank screen, blank experience.
I also love that before any of these canvases can meaningfully connect people to brands, they still need a simple, relevant, big idea.
Best crafted on the blank page.
