Hi, I’m Salina.
I’m a global creative director working in New York City.
My passion lies in making work that makes people feel things - whether that’s the burning
feeling in your nose before you cry, or a big ol’ belly laugh.
Over the last 15 Years I’ve worked my way across the city at agencies like VMLY&R, Publicis, Grey,
Saatchi & Saatchi, Ogilvy and DDB. During that time I’ve built relationships with clients and made them part of the creative process, giving them a vested interest in making great work.
Let’s talk and make some stuff together.
