WHO

It’s not often that you come across a half-Canadian Jewish triplet from Texas who can solve a Rubik’s Cube. Which is great, since I try to be anything but common. As the black sheep of my family, I’m one of four sons and the only Azouz not in the medical field. I find that it gives me a sort of buckling pressure to succeed along with the complete freedom to fail as I please.

On that note, I’ve worked in five cities and three countries on some of the biggest brands in the world. I’ve wandered into voiceover work, seen a social project go viral and helped lead a $60 million new business win. I also made a short film that featured in festivals around the globe. So I’ve had my share of ups, downs and run arounds. Where to next?
