Hey. I’m Dom.
My Taco Bell order has stayed the same for nearly 15 years. Indicating that I either nailed it at a young age or I’m scared of change. Everyone has a different diagnosis.
After establishing my order, I became a writer. Not that either have anything to do with each other but the brain does work better when it’s fed. And over the 10+ years of honing my skills and developing a few new ones, working with brands and agencies of every shape and size, I did a lot of learning. The one big thing I’ve taken away – an insightful and simple idea has the power to inspire people to act, buy and even change.
Let’s create work that doesn’t look, feel, or smell like advertising. But let’s be honest, if it smells like Taco Bell, I’ll probably add it to the order.

Pictured is me (Dom DeLoya) at the Grand Canyon (I absolutely hate heights so this was an achievement) attempting to be funny doing the classic IG pose where you create an optical illusion by fitting it between your fingers. Little did I know, a distant UFO would fly by (to the left of my fingers). Wild. I also failed at making the Grand Canyon seem small.
