Dana Deskiewicz’s Summary

I thoroughly enjoy the creative industry. While the challenges are similar across any medium - to translate client initiatives to a target audience - the journey from concept to completion on any given project is varied, challenging and exciting. I am an expert in developing innovative creative strategies and solutions for online and offline. Effectively communicating core messaging through interaction and exploration has been a main goal when engaging an audience.
