Flo Heiss — Creative

Brian Eno was my tutor at the Royal College of Art.
One day I brought in all my stuff for him to look at.
Drawings, films, paintings, designs, photos, sculptures, fonts, books, posters, ads … everything.
I piled it all on a desk in front of him and asked: “What am I? A designer? A creative? An artist?”
He replied: “Who cares, you are all of those things.”
I love ideas. I love design. I love art.
This site is a collection of my commercial work from the last 20+ years.
I’ve worked as a CD at Gravity Road, Wieden + Kennedy, ECD at the Studio of Art and Commerce, ECD at DARE, CD at Razorfish and screen designer at Scholz & Volkmer.
I’ve been named in Creativity Magazine's Top 50 list of category defining innovators, Campaign Magazine's top ten creative directors.
I’ve won Campaign's Digital Agency of the Decade, Fast Company's World's Most Innovative Company, One Show Pencils, Clios, LIAs and Cannes Lions.
I hold a BA Diploma in Graphic Design from the Technische Hochschule Augsburg in my native Germany, a BA Diploma in Graphic Design from the I.S.I.A Urbino in Italy and an MA in Graphic Design from the Royal College of Art in London.
I have the dual British and German citizenship and speak fluent English, German and Italian.
I sat on the D&AD Board of Trustees and have chaired and judged on pretty much every major international award scheme including D&AD, LIAs, The One Show, ADC NY, Drum Creative Awards, Campaign BIG Awards, BTAA, Creative Circle and the Cannes Cyber Lions.
