My full name is Keerthikeyan Dakshinamurthy, but unless you have a spare afternoon, you can call me Keerthy (key-urh-tea).

I’m a Senior Creative and Senior Art Director based in New York City, specializing in conceptual, culture-first ideas, earned media, and visual storytelling that gives people a reason to actually care.

Over the years, I’ve created work for brands including Candy Crush, Bulleit, Daiya, method, Lysol, Babyganics, Lottie London and more, across gaming, food, beauty, entertainment, and beyond.

I’m most interested in ideas that don’t just sit inside an ad. The kind that earn attention, start conversations, and make people think, “Wait, they actually did that?” or “How the F*#k did they come up with that?”.

I also believe the best work comes from collaboration, because everyone’s a creative at heart.

At the end of the day, I’m just looking to make smart, memorable work for brands and causes worth giving a voice to.
