About me

Nimo is a Creative Director and nomadic third culture kid who believes in the power of storytelling, using creativity to solve problems and is
forever interested in how advertising can promote positive change. She’s created fun and original work for a variety of brands including Toblerone, American Express, Google, and Dove.

As a creative powerhouse, recognised as one of PITCH Magazine’s 100
Superwomen’ and Campaign Magazine’s ‘Faces to Watch’, Nimo continues to inspire (young) talent as Co-Resident Executive Creative Director of D&AD New Blood SHIFT, a night school programme for people who want to pursue a career in the industry but lack the formal education. She joined the inaugural Anthem Awards Jury honouring voices that spark real change and has been invited to judge The One Club’s Cultural Driver panel, celebrating influential ideas that have had a noticeable impact on pop culture.

Next to her incredible work for the industry, Nimo continues to contribute towards driving change within Media.Monks. As one of the initiators of Wellbeing.Monks, she continues her work with the agency’s internal DE&I and Mental Health movement to implement the right practices to ensure a healthier, happier work environment - and create more opportunities for Monks to do work for social good.
