Brand & Design Pro - Community Leader - Husband & Dad
I’m Dustin, a professional multimedia graphic designer and creative director in Minnesota. I grew up drawing pictures in my spare time as a child, now it’s a part of my job! Reach out if there’s anything I can help you with from the wide range of hats I wear listed below.
I wear a lot of hats
A creative director
with a proven track record in leading creative direction for major design and interactive projects and brand campaigns, I have successfully distilled intricate products, strategies, and services into visually compelling designs and impactful messaging. My work focuses on creating clear and engaging content that resonates with the audience and effectively communicates the brand's message.
A Digital Marketing Nerd
who is handy with Analytics tools and will happily break away from the design studio to analyze, report on, and present performance.
A presentation designer
who doesn't "hate powerpoint" and instead loves its ability to tell engaging stories

Additionally, I possess strong communication skills, a customer service orientation, and effective routines to ensure smooth project execution and peace-of-mind.
A graphic designer
who has honed my skills across various mediums, always approaching design challenges with a process-oriented mindset. I am intensely curious about every aspect of visual design and messaging, constantly seeking out patterns and ways to infuse storytelling elements into my work. Each piece of design I create is crafted to convey a unique narrative, reflecting my passion for creating compelling visual stories.
A Web Designer
that's experienced with creating themes and templates for WordPress and other CMS systems, general server management, and equipping marketers with the tools to self-serve.
