Tescia Deák is a Creative Director at the storied Los Angeles agency, Chiat/Day. Her portfolio is full of brilliant, purpose-driven work that would make the most cynical creative at Weiden & Kennedy envious. Like a widget that makes the whole internet more equitable. A downy commercial that ran so long it essentially sent the main actor into royalty retirement. Passion projects like a mentorship program that connects women to one another and to a support system that’s unprecedented in the boys club of advertising. And much, much more.
Today you’ll get a front-row seat at her journey—the ups, the downs, and the philosophy that fueled her ascension into ad stardom.
