30 Most Creative People in Advertising Under 30<\/a>\u201d earlier this year. The list is based on advertising agency and peer nominations, as well as the magazine\u2019s own research into candidate\u2019s awards and campaigns. Curtis completed his BFA in Studio Art with a Concentration in Graphic Design in 2010.<\/p>\nCurtis is a Senior Art Director at Deutsch LA in Los Angeles.

He has worked on advertising campaigns for numerous national brands, including Snapple, Dr Pepper, 7Up, Cheerwine, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Nintendo, Toshiba, Fiat-Chrysler and The Charlotte Hornets.<\/p>\n
Curtis has received considerable national and international recognition for the creative work he has produced solo and with his professional partner, Andrew Kong. This work has received a D&AD Wood Pencil from the British Design & Art Direction organization; a Merit Award from The One Show, produced by New York\u2019s The One Club and Art Director\u2019s Club; and Shortlist recognition from Cannes Lions, the international festival of creativity in advertising, among many others.<\/p>\n
