Adam Walko, Creative Director, Safari Sundays
Creative Director Adam Walko started his career as a commercial artist, but his passion for making products and the artistry behind them drew him to the world of branding.
Since joining the Safari Sundays 12 years ago, Adam’s savored silent sushi two levels below Tokyo street level, smelled the obscurities of a Nordic fermentation lab, gasped at the color spectrum of over 200 varietals of potatoes, and hoorah’d at the screeching of a ’66 Toyota Pick-Up Tokyo drifting around a hairpin turn.
Adam goes deep to give voice to every project with an unwavering commitment to craft a brand with the perfect taste, touch, sound, and story it needs to come alive.
