ABOUT

Mario Vaz is an independent creative director with a background in design and art direction. Working across fashion, music, entertainment and lifestyle (for the ones who get it).

Born in London, raised in Coventry, educated in Liverpool, adopted by Manchester. I've moved around a lot, and that matters. It's given me a real feel for different cultures and subcultures, the kind you only get from actually living in a place rather than passing through.

I started out in 2014 at an independent design studio. Over the years I gained experience across corporate, commercial, consumer and cultural facing brands. A jack of all trades and master of none. Branding, apparel, print, packaging, digital, social. You name it, I've probably done it.

In 2019 I fell into creative and art direction and ended up working with some of my dream clients across fashion, music and entertainment. Total blag at first. But working with great creative mentors I found a genuine love for conceptual thinking, and never looked back. Since then I've directed production teams, photographers, videographers, designers and artworkers, learning how to take an idea from a rough concept all the way through to a finished campaign.

Today I run my own creative practice creating the work I actually want, for the brands worth doing it for.

So long story short: I concept, I direct, I design. And I fucking love it mate.
