Where I’ve Been


In February 2024, I was offered an exciting opportunity to work as an Art Director at an up and coming agency in the heart of Downtown Dallas.

I took the leap, and spent a little over a year working on all sorts of projects ranging from branding and website designs for startups, to director’s treatments and pitch decks for brands like Chanel, Ferrari, Intel, Children’s Health, and The Home Depot.

This work is under NDA. Please reach out to me directly if you are interested in learning more!

Project 01

From 2020-2024, I worked as an in-house graphic designer at the esports and entertainment conglomerate Envy Gaming, later known as OpTic Gaming following the merging of the two companies.

I worked across all internal brands, including Dallas Fuel, Dallas Empire, and OpTic Texas, developing a unique brand voice for each team that resonated with their respective game’s passionate community.

As one of the longest tenured creatives at the organization, I was forced to adapt to repeated structural changes, which saw me trying and excelling at all sorts of creative work, from social media graphics and youtube content branding, to live event broadcasts and merchandise designs.

Project 03


To get ahead of my classmates, I challenged myself to design a poster every day. I stopped after 131 daily posters, and after a short break formed Art Friends Collective with 6 other designers to create weekly posters. Here are some of the best ones from each.

Hi there! My name is Dan, and I am a 26-year-old

I was originally trained as a graphic designer, but
over the years, my skillset has grown alongside my
ever-expanding pool of creative interests.
