About Me
I am a creative/design director, leader, and, above all, a visual storyteller. I have conceived and executed design direction across a myriad of advertising platforms. My journey includes assignments at top media beauty, and fashion companies such as Condé Nast, and Hearst and successful collaborations with luxury beauty and lifestyle brands Allure, Skinbetter Science, Revlon, Blue Lagoon Skincare, and many more.
My specialty is bringing trends to life visually—establishing the “look” of print, digital, and video advertising to expand audiences and define brand identity. I elevate brands through innovative design and photography concepts. I also excel in hiring and mentoring talent, managing creative teams, and solving complex problems in an ever-evolving business landscape. My ability to navigate the fast-paced beauty and fashion industries is a testament to both my adaptability and resilience.
I’m an innovative, conceptual thinker who thrives on collaboration and motivating teams to deliver real results. For a fresh look at your brand, feel free to contact me at deanna@deannafilippodesign.com.
"I love to refresh looks for established brands and help entrepreneurial brands establish their tone and perspective."
