Hi!
I’m a Senior Art Director with international experience, passionate about creating ideas that genuinely connect with people.
I studied at Miami Ad School (Miami) and Accademia di Comunicazione (Milan),
and have worked across Italy and Ireland with leading agencies on campaigns for local and global brands.
My approach to work is driven by human insight, cultural relevance, and attention to detail, whether in integrated campaigns, social, digital, film, outdoor, or brand storytelling.
I’ve been fortunate to be part of work recognised at Cannes Lions, D&AD, The Clios, ADCI (The Italian Art Directors Club) and ICADs (The Irish Creativity & Design Awards), which continues to motivate me to keep learning and pushing ideas further.
Outside of advertising, I’m inspired by culture, travel, art, and, above all, people.
If you’d like to connect or collaborate, feel free to reach out at udi.ovadia.work@gmail.com.
