Bio
Gennaro Pisapia - BA, Dip DigM, CSP-SM
Desray goes beyond the brief. I have worked with her for over 8 years on global, local campaigns and new brand development, and each time without fail she has delivered exceptional creative. Her ability to see whatever is front of her with such detail is so valuable! She is s highly skilled creative director, client manager and designer. Desray makes every stressful moment a breeze with multiple solutions and a dash of humour. Super grateful.

I had the enriching opportunity to be part of the Engagement Team at Instinctif and Partners led by Desray. Desray is an excellent leader and has great communicational skills. She was always available to supervise the entire work procedure and to immediately resolve my doubts. It is thanks to her that I managed to never feel lost in the process. Desray made me feel her interest in helping me grow as an employee. She invested copious amount of time to explain and to ensure herself that I understood every new concept. She also offered me to join their meetings with other members of the engagement team so I could get further insight of their goals. Therefore, I can assure that she is and acts as an excellent leader, achieving the objectives on time by means of an impeccable previous organization and an unbeatable treatment towards those whom she supervises. Her professionalism, patience and willingness to help have motivated me to do the best job I can and has given me the opportunity to grow professionally. I highly appreciate how she combined her kind personality with her professional skills, it has been a pleasure to learn from her and to work with her.
