Charismatic Ambition in the midst of NYC - Meet Coltrane Curtis

“People calling me boss is just as scary as my son calling me father and my wife calling me husband.”

Sharing his name with one of America’s great musicians, NY-based Coltrane Curtis is an entrepreneur, a husband and a dad. His brand solutions agency, Team Epiphany, services clients such as Nike, Moet and Heineken and has established itself as a leader in effectively helping companies communicate with their audiences.

In his four walls this trendsetter enjoys spending as much time as possible with his business partner and wife Lisa, and his son Ellington, for whom he aims to provide the same opportunities he was afforded.

In a parallel universe within the heart of Tokyo: FvF interview with Hiroki Tsukuda
Starting as a graphic designer, Hiroki Tsukuda, recognised the gap between restrictive design work and the freedom of an artist when creating. Having made the transition, today he works as a contemporary artist based in Tokyo.
His work varies from painting, sculpture, drawing and collages - always capturing details from his surroundings and integrating them into an imaginative reality. The guiding principle of his work is to „take a peek into the other side of the world“. In his free time Hiroki takes this further by entering virtual worlds when playing video games.
Find out about his artistic approach, life spent in the Japanese countryside and places to go before you die on Freunde von Freunden.
