'Feed your Brain'. By Autistic Ian
Description
Autistic artist Ian, whose talent has always been exceptional, has also had to navigate the challenges of a severe stammer and high-functioning autism. In 2012, while serving as Executive Creative Director for Europe at one of the world’s top advertising agencies, Ian suffered a mental breakdown that left him homeless. Fortunately, with the support and compassion of the hospitality industry, Ian has returned to the global creative stage, where his unique vision continues to thrive. Collaborating with some of the world’s finest chefs and restaurateurs, Ian brings a fresh perspective, infusing his “I see things differently” ethos into every creation.
