Deniz Marlali. (with Z) I also known as Riverraid on social and some game platforms. (I started playing video games when I was 10 and have kept the nickname ever since.) I’m a California-based creative director with a background in art, film, social and digital design. With 15+ years of advertising and branding experience, I collaborate with cross-functional teams and manage groups to achieve creative excellence. I am a tech and visual enthusiast, as well as a storyteller. I lead teams in creating brand communications across digital and social channels, developing engaging work that makes people feel something.
