About
I am a creative director who codes, a technologist who designs, and a strategist who builds.
For 25 years I have worked at the intersection of art, technology and human experience — inventing Looking Glass, the world's most advanced AR jewelry try-on system, at Cartier's Brooklyn Innovation Lab; founding Asia's largest crypto art festival; building the world's first generative art platform on Bitcoin; and leading innovation at Cartier, Dentsu, and TBWA across New York, Singapore, Hong Kong, Berlin and Tokyo.
I work across machine learning, computer vision, real-time graphics, generative systems, interactive installation, and blockchain. The common thread is not a technology stack. It is the ability to see what a brand or experience needs, identify why existing tools cannot deliver it, and invent the approach that can.
South Africa's most decorated digital creative. One of two Loerie Grand Prix winners in the digital category. Webby Award winner.

He has ideals that make perfect sense in a world that will only arrive in a few years' time, but George relentlessly closes that gap. He is the thinking man's artist we all need on our teams.
A very rare hybrid: equal parts tech wizard and artist. A highly conceptual thinker who combines art and code to create original experiences.
