Hello, glad you made it here. I am Deanna Solis-Wallace (she/her) an award-winning Creative Director with over a decade of experience in advertising at both top tier ad agencies and brand side where I have worked alongside the industry's most innovative creative leads. I studied abroad in London, went to ad school in San Francisco and was fortunate enough to intern at Ogilvy Paris.

However my creative journey took root in Chicago where I was born and raised in a vibrant bilingual Mexican family. My upbringing is what inspired my love for color, visual art, and multicultural communications. After interning and studying in various cities I moved to New York City (where I have lived long enough to call myself a New Yorker - iykyk). I started out at Y&R and R/GA then at Droga5 my career excelled on accounts like Coke Zero, Motorola, belVita and helped win pitches on Chobani and Air Wick. I went on to produce anthems on the Tide account at Saatchi & Saatchi as a Senior Art Director, to DDB where I helped win the Persil ProClean account, to Associate Creative Director for six years at several agencies including Mother, McCann, Havas, FCB and brand side at Verizon. I was also a part of Chobani’s first in-house creative team where I helped create some of their first product launch spots - a full circle expeience.

All in all, my most proud and awarded campaigns have stemmed from inclusion, body positivity, gender equity and honoring community. On projects such as Target "Swim", T.J. Maxx "Changing Room" and Citi: "The List", “Now That You See Me” and "The Climb" where I spent several years at Publicis Groupe primarily on the Citi account.

In the last year I have freelanced on-site and fully remote as Creative Director from coast to coast across finance, hospitality and wellness brands. My mission as a creative lead is to build and uplift BIPOC creative teams.
