Full name is Keerthikeyan Dakshinamurthy but everyone just calls me Keerthy (key-urh-tea), Art Director based in the Big Apple.

Born in the vibrant city of Chennai, my nomadic life has definetely made me a true global citizen, giving me a diverse perspective and a worldly outlook of compassion and empathy.

Picked up a real flair for conceptual creativity and earned-media strategies with a keen eye for design and innovative ideas along the way. I have honed my skills as an Art Director, specializing in creating captivating and impactful visual experiences. I especially enjoy creating campaigns that not only stand out but also resonate deep with the audience, leaving a lasting impression.

Throughout my career, I’ve got to work with some cool brands like Bulleit, Daiya, Babyganics, Lysol, Lottie London, and many others. Working with such remarkable brands has not only enriched my portfolio but also sharpened my ability to adapt and excel across various industries.

When it comes to teamwork, I believe in fostering an environment where ideas flow freely (everyone's a creative at heart). My approachable and adaptable nature allows me to seamlessly integrate with cross-functional teams across different time zones, inspiring creativity and excellence in every project we undertake.

At the end of the day, i’m just looking for the right cause to give a voice to. Let's make a difference in the world.
