With an extensive background in brand experience and design, Adam is not only a master at connecting brand, interior design, and environmental graphic design but also a prolific fine artist whose innovative approach extends beyond the realms of consultancy.

A Sky-High Journey to Creative Lead

Adam's journey into brand brilliance took flight during his 22-year tenure at Delta Air Lines, where he honed his skills in delivering exceptional brand experiences and driving design innovation. As the design lead for Delta's global airport network, Adam crafted visual experiences covering more than 20 million square feet of airport terminals worldwide, leaving an indelible mark on iconic locations such as New York JFK, London Gatwick, and Salt Lake City.

New York State of Mind

Beyond the confines of brand experience, Adam is a seasoned fine artist whose early influence from galleries in New York City laid the foundation for his vibrant and exuberant artistic vision. Inspired by artists like Warhol and Haring, Adam's pop surrealism seamlessly evolved into abstract expressionism. His unique artistic journey took a captivating turn as he delved into the world of commercial aviation, birthing the innovative Jet Drip Art.

"In the world of art and aviation, I've found the perfect canvas for crafting distinctive brand experiences—where creativity takes flight."

Beyond the Boardroom: Lacrosse, Coaching, and Creative Expansion

Away from the creative realm, Adam is a passionate lacrosse player and coach, dedicating 40 years to playing and 12 years to coaching. Competing at the masters level nationally and internationally with Team Israel Masters, Adam embodies the same dedication and strategic thinking on the field as he does in the consultancy world.

In Adam, GLIMMA not only has a Creative Lead but a maestro of brand experiences, blending the artistry of aviation with the strategic finesse of consultancy. Stay tuned for more stories from our exceptional team as we continue to shape the future of brand experiences at GLIMMA.
