Creative direction or - how to keep a lot of balls in the air at the same time..

During the entire design and build process, M A F has the creative direction over the complete design. That means that we keep track of and direct the content and design across all parties involved. This ensures that we achieve an integral design, involving all the necessary disciplines.
