Sako Tenz / Tvildiani
I’m not afraid of being embarrassed, which gives me all the freedom to create.
I’m Sako - Conceptual AD and Illustrator with pretty fluent English skills from Tbilisi, GE, based in Amsterdam, NL and Berlin, DE.
For the past 1.5 year, I’ve launched 2 award winning PR campaigns with my own concepts, 2 client campaigns, I’ve Illustrated a genius book about school shootings in the USA, I did event branding for TEDX, conceptual VR set design for 2 projects, graduated from Ad School and 🥁🥁🥁 branded my friend (She has tattoo of my logo)
Before all that I had a media company startup. I was a project manager, producer and actress on film sets, magazine photographer, translator of Latin manuscripts… And then one day it clicked, and they combined!
I'm a pretty curious person, so I’ve done everything from music school playing saxophone (Alto) to competitive ballroom dancing, to tennis championships and trivia tournaments. But Music has always been one of my biggest, most greatest passions! The other one - is building and constructing things. My latest piece was a longboard from couch wheels and other materials (total fail).
Now I’m looking forward to learning how to play the drums.
