Hi. I’m Dave Petti. 
I’m a no drama creative director with a relentless work ethic and an entrepreneurial spirit. I’ve been part of two agency start-ups, with positions that rarely fit neatly into traditional job titles. As a jack-of-all-trades, I’ve ranged from designer to art director to creative leader that manages creative teams and clients alike. 
Most recently, I’ve helped grow OKRP from a dozen people and two clients to an office of over 150 and a dozen clients.
