Patrycja Lukjanow /Creative Director

Pat started her career in Australia nearly 20 years ago, then spent the next two decades collecting cities, clients and increasingly complicated tax returns.

Since then, she’s led creative work across Australia, Europe and the US, running creative departments, leading large multidisciplinary teams and making things for brands including Google, Microsoft, IKEA, Volvo, and basically everything you put in your mouth, driveway or medicine cabinet.

Most recently, Pat was SVP Creative Director at Area 23 in New York, where she spent over four years working at the intersection of creativity, health and technology, with a particular interest in using ideas and innovation to solve real-world problems.

Her work has been recognised at Cannes Lions, D&AD, The One Show, Clios, New York Festivals, Eurobest and the Effies. She’s also served on juries for Cannes Lions, D&AD, Clios and New York Festivals, and has watched enough advertising case studies set to emotional piano music to last several lifetimes.

Her career has also taken her across Europe, including leading the creative department at Saatchi & Saatchi in Warsaw. Along the way, she’s worked across technology, healthcare, automotive, food, fashion, finance and consumer brands, which has kept things interesting and her browser tabs completely unmanageable.

Pat also has an affinity with metal and designs her own jewellery, including pieces made from melted-down award statuettes. It’s creative recycling. Or an extremely elaborate way of avoiding buying silver.

She dislikes writing about herself in the third person because it makes her sound either very important or recently deceased.

At the time of writing, she is neither. Which means there’s still time to work together.
