The Society of Design, a non-profit organization dedicated to multidisciplinary design education and community service, welcomes Lu Chekowsky, Associate Creative Director.

“Find Your Voice” – a presentation about confidence, awareness, experience, trust, insecurity, ego, honesty, reality, nonsense, failure, playfulness, intention, improvisation, optimism, and risk.

Lu Chekowsky is an Associate Creative Director at Wieden+Kennedy New York and has worked on campaigns for Brand Jordan, Nike Canada, Talbots, Noxzema, St. Ives, Delta Airlines, Sharp, Cole Haan, Proctor+Gamble, The Ghetto Film School, and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

Throughout her career, Lu has worked to more wholly understand the relationship between women and advertising. She has blogged about the subject for the Huffington Post, appeared as a panelist on the PBS advertising talk show, “Mental Engineering,” and received the Harriett Abbott Award for Innovation and Vision in Advertising from the Women’s Image Network. Lu also currently volunteers with Ad Women of New York – mentoring up-and-coming female creatives.

Before advertising, Lu was a lot of other things: a stand-up comic, a burlesque fire dancer, a relationship columnist, a telephone psychic, a script-writer for Britney Spears, and a tram-driving emcee on the backstage tour at Disney/MGM Studios. These days, Lu can be found singing in her all-lady rock band “The Crinolines.”
