Storm Smith is a producer at BBDO Los Angeles. She is involved in cross-function Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Accessibility work with BBDO offices in North America – with the lead of Diversity Inclusion and Accessibility function within the production unit for AT&T. She is the first Deaf woman to have been recruited by BBDO Worldwide.

She continues in roles of creative director for collaborative projects, motivational speakers on larger scale events, and a thought leader for change in the creative and advertising industry.

Storm joined BBDO Worldwide in 2017 as an art director. Her storytelling work immediately helped shine a positive light on critical societal issues such as people with disabilities, gender equality and people of color. For example, she worked on the “It’s Time to Redefine” campaign as part of International Women’s Day, which sought to change the online dictionary definition of woman.

Storm’s tireless efforts to promote diversity, inclusion and accessibility have earned her a special recognition from President Barack Obama for the 30th anniversary on ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act), ADCOLOR Unsung Community Hero award, and a prestigious award from the City of Los Angeles. She featured in the major publications including in PopSugar, Los Angeles Times, Billboard, AdAge, Yahoo! Life, Localish on ABC, and more.
