[Zai]gret Canals

Hi, I’m Zai.


I am a multicultural Senior Art Director and bilingual Copywriter originally from Puerto Rico with over 10 years of experience. This includes managing small teams and collaborating with brands from diverse industries. I take pride in my ability to lead and guide teams towards creative excellence and successful project outcomes.


My biggest passion lies in coming up with creative ideas and strategies that are impactful and effective. As an “idea hunter,” I thrive on paying attention to details, assessing risks, and a constant pursuit of standout ideas. My aim is not only to differentiate brands from the competition but to also drive them towards tangible results. 


I am proud to have worked with clients such as T-Mobile, Huggies, K-Y, Durex, Pediasure, Pedialyte, Special K, Danone, McDonald’s, Advil, Glade, Borden, Red Lobster, NYX Cosmetics, Bombay Sapphire, among many others.


What's my goal? To create meaningful and long-lasting connections between brands and consumers while driving engagement and loyalty.
