“I would heartily recommend Shai for any position that requires creative and critical thinking. His ability to tease apart complex, multi-faceted ‘problems’ and turn them into agile, executable briefs is a thing to behold. Beyond all that, he's so fun to work with.”
THE PAST
music startup. mobile AR. architecture & design. magazine publishing. educational animation. the culture industry. branded content. sales & growth strategies. pitches & proposals. event concepting. product launches. interactive installations. brand inception & extension. curators & collaborators.
We must transform how we communicate, address and engage people — only then can we truly begin to see each other. I want to help drive this revolution across all methods and modes that we use to connect with and experience the world around us.
OUR FUTURE
Something insightful about the type of work I am looking for that relates to the accompanying grandiose statement. WHAT I WANT TO DO … WHAT I WANT TO DO … something something we win
LOL PROJECTS
I help small start-ups, nascent concepts and recently launched initiatives transform themselves from passion projects into legitimate businesses with strong foundations and ambitious but achievable goals. LoL takes the budding visions of talented folks across the fields of media, art, culture and technology and works to further develop their overall brand narrative, organizational structure, client base or financial position.
We specialize in brand identity development and positioning, refining products and service offerings, securing funding and sponsorships, providing business development and monetization strategies, and procuring appropriate partnerships and alliances.
Past clients include style incubator House of Diehl, enviro-tech nonprofit HabitatMap, Ghanian fashion line Venus over Water, media activist TheLAMP and collaborative furniture design platform Lerival. Most recently, I served as acting Director of Strategy for ExquisiteCorp, a branding & design agency focused on health, wellness and sustainability.
