Whitney Downing is an Art Director at Wieden+Kennedy Portland where she has worked since 2018 on brands like Nike, KFC, and Supercell.

Her most recent film for Nike, “By Changing Nothing, She’s Changed Everything,” celebrated Serena Williams' retirement and final match at the US Open in 2022. Previously, she created the highly sought-after KFC Chicken Crocs (they sold out in 8 minutes, but no one is counting).

Her ambition is to create funny, Black ass work that makes people look at ads differently. In her ideal future, there are more Black art directors, at every level.

She always has too many tabs open and too many pants in her shopping cart.
