HEY THERE.
I’M DAN!
Thanks for checking out my portfolio!
I grew up in a small village in Essex, UK, and moved to Canada at 19 in 2011. Adjusting to the cold winters and learning to ski has been quite an adventure! I graduated in May 2016 from the Alberta College of Art & Design (now Alberta University of the Arts) with a Bachelor of Design in Graphic Design.
My passion lies in creating visually compelling designs, including logos and branding, book cover illustrations, and various print and digital projects. I’m skilled in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign, which help me bring my ideas to life. In my free time,
I like to create YouTube videos, mostly speed drawings. They’re just for fun and a nice break from my main work, but they’re what initially got me excited about this field.
If you have any questions or just want to chat, feel free to email me!
