EVERYTHING ABOUT ME
WELL, NOT EVERYTHING, BUT ENOUGH TO GET A CLUE
Hey, I'm Sharon, but you can call me Thales.
Been in-love with advertising since about 2007. Since then I've been spreading love and ideas in some of Israel's best agencies. I am married + dog and on my spare time i paint on walls, skate and act like i know how to surf.
