Jesús “Chui” Díaz

VP Creative Director, Chicago, IL

I’m a bilingual Creative Director / Art Director, born and raised in Puerto Rico, with a career that’s taken me from San Juan to Chicago, Los Angeles, Florida and back to Chicago, working at places like BBDO, FCB, McCann, Barkley, and Disney’s Yellow Shoes.

I like good ideas, figuring things out, and getting my hands into the work. Culture, humor, music, family, and a healthy dose of opinions are pretty hard to separate from who I am or how I approach creative work. I’ve led teams, built brands, made campaigns, and picked up a few awards along the way, but what I really enjoy is making work people remember.

Always curious. Always making things. Always trying to make every meeting 15 minutes shorter.
