The D. stands for Devin.
Profesh
I've been a working designer for 12 years and I've worked with movie studios, toy companies, esports teams, pharmaceuticals, startups, and hell, even a print newspaper or three. I've been in management roles for 6 years and the only thing I care about more than the work is my team. Tortured artists may make great work, but infographics are tough when you're exhausted. I take care of my teams and my teams make great work. It's as simple as that.
Fields of Experience
I'm a jack of all trades director and I like it that way. You can be the best editorial director in the world but that isn't gonna help much when a client needs retail packaging. (Okay, it might help a little, but my point stands) In no particular order, my preferred fields of design are: Events/experiential, Apparel, Packaging, UI/UX, Branding, Motion Graphics, Editorial & Layout, Illustration, and Product Development. This are the top of the stack at the moment, but it was a very different list a year ago. Who knows what'll be on it a year from now.
But who am I REALLY
While I obviously love design, you've gotta diversify if you don't wanna just regurgitate what you see in the most recent issue of CA. Outside of work, I box (for fitness. Please don't come at me, bro) and rollerblade. I'm an avid (if below average) gamer. I've got a comic collection that rivals most libraries (current favorite creators are Tom Taylor, James Tynion IV, and Brubaker/Phillips). I also love taking on craft projects. Big fan of linocut and lately, I've been teaching myself to knit (still workin on that one). I also love tabletop games and D&D (even though COVID killed the campaign I ran.) And yes, I also like a good parenthetical here and there.
Who are YOU really
