— About
I'm a creative director with over 20 years experience developing engaging television and web-based marketing solutions.
I love ideas that pull at emotion and disrupt expectations. To find these elusive moments, the creative process to me is about first learning the box you're working within, and then discovering ways to bend and break it.
My goal is to work with others who share this desire to push beyond the box walls, and then together create things that can provoke a laugh, draw a tear or trigger an action.

Tapio just gets it. From two words, comes a concept. From a paragraph comes a whole story.

Tapio is a careful and creative thinker with an eye for details and a devotion to out-of-the-box thinking, which serves him well in film direction, script writing and managing others.
He has the terrific ability to draw on his own experiences and observations to develop thoughtful solutions to creative issues. He is no stranger to putting in long hours in order to achieve these solutions. With his easy-going attitude he works closely with his teams as a friend and as a leader.
I cannot recommend Tapio enough as he is not only a great collaborator and colleague he is also a genuine talent all around great guy.

To whomever is lucky enough to know Tapio.
I've had the pleasure of knowing Tapio Haku for over 20 years. In that time I've known him to be an innovative, resourceful and generous creative partner. If there are 5 feet of rope available - Tapio will find 10. Whether its working on film projects or other more complex creative challenges, Tapio is a genius at getting that extra perspective on even the most complex creative problem. He would come with my highest recommendation.
