CREATIVE DIRECTOR

Timla Tieng

I started in advertising as an Account Executive. Moved into Illustration for storyboards, trainee Art Director and Copywriter. Through a series of mishaps and miscalculations, I ended up as a Senior Art director where I bullied Thomas into making me a CD. (My gunz are bigger than his).

I still feel my career is just at the beginning. So much to learn, so much to do.

What I value most about the culture at Fieldstone Helms is the friendship.

The most exciting thing about Mondays is that in 5 days it will be Friday and the best way to enjoy a Friday drink, is to put in a good shift from Monday.

At the end of the day, what I want to be remembered for is that I am Kenyan, with Kenyan beliefs and Kenyan insights. And even though I love the Wu-Tang Clan, The Avengers and such, I still have a very Kenyan story to tell. I want to tell it with the same executional excellence that Avengers was told.
