The child that didn’t wait for Santa, but built her own toys.
that found the four-leaved clover, buried it, and started looking again.
that saw the glass half full, and then filled it to the top.
that challenged Peter Pan, and never grew up.
that believes in miracles, because believing is seeing.
As someone who doesn’t identify solely as an ‘Art Director’, ‘Copywriter’ or ‘Strategist’ but tries to involve herself in all those spheres of work, Rebecca wishes to change the way creative marketing teams function by bringing in the ‘hybrid’ culture.
A creative professional from Mumbai with over 12 years of experience in the industry, she began her career in 2011 as Creative Visualizer at a Mumbai-based advertising design studio - Encyclomedia, where she worked on advertising campaigns with brands like KFC, Coke, Reebok, McDonalds.

She also worked with BBH-Stockholm in September 2017 where she won new business with Rebtel and Volvo. Between 2018-19, she worked as a Creative Hybrid at Famous Innovations, pushing her own boundaries by dabbling in both copy and art. She won businesses and worked on campaigns and ideas for Burger King, Monster.com, Budweiser, Platinum Guild of India, Simon Carter, Van Heusen, Titan. She went on to lead a team of 5 creatives at VMLY&R Mumbai as Associate Creative Director (2019-2021), working on digital campaigns for Heinz Indonesia, Marico, Ageas Federal Life Insurance, Platinum Guild of India, Cipla.

Apart from advertising, she had also gained overnight popularity for a pet project in 2020 – An Instagram AR filter based on a Netflix show ‘Indian Matchmaking’, which went viral overnight with over 30 million views globally. Spending too much time on Instagram worked in her favour.
She expresses herself via social media, with a couple of social pages, @leftbrainedcenteraligned , where she posts memes/one-liners and also designs Insta AR filters. She has also started Project Dream Doodle where she doodles people's most absurd dreams, if they fund someone else’s dream. Her little way of doing some charity and saving the world one doodle at a time.
And more than all of that, word on the street is, she is just a joyful person to be around.
