Deepika Desai.
Or just DD.
If you’re in the market for a copywriter, auditor, financial analyst, fashion designer for Indian weddings or a guitarist who can play any 3 chord song (as long as ‘F’ isn’t involved) -
you just found her.
Curiosity has led me down many paths. And even my questionable choices, make admittedly good stories.
These past few years, it’s curiosity that let me create a YouTube series for Netflix India that’s now in Season 3, globally launch a new Amazon product, present my idea at SXSW in Austin and finally face my coffee allergy.
Currently, I’m a Brand Copywriter working across different mediums and different roads that lead to Lyft.
Bonus: I don’t need sponsorship to work in the US.
