Jury

I’m Giamaria Fernandes but most people know me as Gia. I’m currently a Group Creative Director at Dentsu Webchutney, India and have over 13 years of experience, spanning the disciplines of brand identity, packaging, digital media, VUx/VUi and experience design. Before joining Dentsu, I started my career at one of Mumbai’s earliest pure design teams at agencies such as WPP Contract Designsutra where I focused mainly on packaging and branding projects. From there went on to lead design and digital departments at Whyness Worldwide and FCB India, opening my design abilities to many more applications. While at FCB, I was the only woman from my agency in a 5 member team, to have participated in the Amazon Alexa Hackathon - Voice Summit 2019 and emerged a national champion while competing against Australia and Japan. I stand for a good human story told in the most offbeat way that challenges the way we see the world. I’ve worked closely with multiple global teams on brands like Burger King, Colgate Palmolive and Asus providing creative tech solutions. Apart from that some of my awards and accolades include Cannes Lions, Spikes Asia, Clios, Kyoorius, One show, LIA, etc.
