Hiya.
I’m Yvonne De Santi, an award-winning integrated creative leader (art director), who has played a key role in building business for a wide range of high-profile clients. I am a strong, conceptual thinker, working extensively across 360 platforms with significant production experience. Over the past 15 years I’ve been dedicated to health and wellness working on DTC/OTC/HCP, hospitals and Medical Groups. I’m passionate for creating exceptionally meaningful work and driven by the extraordinary stories I hear every day. I look forward to being challenged and continue to set a higher standard of creative grounded in science and elevated by human purpose.
