Paul Wood is a New Zealand-born, Amsterdam-raised Creative Director, living and working in NYC. Oddly enough, he has a bit of a British accent.
His award-winning projects have included creating a sleep-away camp for adults, a car commercial without a car, a zombie popcorn bucket,
a Hip-Hop Meditation EP, and helping set up an Award Show where 100% of the profits go to supporting women’s rights.
