Before Buena, Doug spent seven years as an associate creative director at Leo Burnett in Chicago. Before that he freelanced as an art director.
His ideas have won the studio Cannes Lions, One Show pencils, Clios and Webbys, including 24 medals in a single awards season.
Today he leads Buena’s campaigns, brands and apps. He builds products himself too, with the same AI tools the team uses every day.
