Aubrey Kurlansky
Creative Director at Aubrey Kurlansky Design
First and foremost I am a creative problem solver - intelligent, intuitive and curious. I have a positive can-do attitude and am always ready to apply my experience and understanding to new situations. I rise to challenges with enthusiasm and am very quick to learn and adapt when faced with unusual or unfamiliar tasks, developing new skills en-route. I sum up my approach as 'Thinking without boundaries... '

Show profile Hide profileI have over 25 years experience, working for a very broad range of clients and organisations in the UK, encompassing a variety of disciplines and skills for print and digital environments and have extensive skill in copy-writing, conceptualising, creative strategy and art direction. I have also run my own businesses (The Loft, Oxygen and now AKD) since 1991 - I have managed my clients and the development and marketing of my business, for over 20 years, and have the requisite experience and skills to apply to the role as described. I am more than ready to make the move from a creative role into creative management. I have been Creative Director at Oxygen, Design Director at Corporate Edge and Senior Creative at Studio Liquid, and most recently as design manager at Ralph & Russo. I am currently running my own business but am very keen to expand my area of work and get back to working amongst like minded creatives again.
I am very much a team player with first-hand involvement in managing a design team of up to 8 people.
KEY INTERESTS
I am a keen and semi-professional photographer, a passion that has been greatly enhanced by my twenty years as a creative and art-director working with other professional photographers.
From my photography experiments I have designed and published a book and this talent has been greatly utilised in my design work. I run an internship programme and have been doing so for two years working with over twenty students and graduates, helping them to develop their own range and abilities. I also run cooking courses and teach the art of cooking.
