Neeruj Sethi is an award-winning, multi-disciplinary associate creative director who has always wanted to write a short biography about himself in the about me section of his own website. Now that he finally has a Squarespace account, he can say that it is no longer just a pipe dream. Instead, Neeruj can add it to a bucket list of other semi-cool things he’s done whilst working on nationally-recognized brands at Droga5, R/GA, Oliver, Deutsch, Code & Theory, BBDO, and McKinney.
