Hey, it's Dennis

I'm a creative director who loves getting his hands dirty, you could say that I direct and I do.

A "Creative Do-rector" if you will.

According to ChatGPT, I made up that term. Pretty cool, huh?

Creative Direction & Design

The stuff that excites me

Clear strategy, consistent execution, and collaborative energy to take brands from vision to reality.

Brand Building

Strong guidelines and frameworks that give your brand staying power and room to grow.

Design Systems

Systems that keep teams aligned, workflows smooth, and creative output consistent.

Creative Support

Big ideas, small team? I provide on-demand direction and a few creative sparks to keep projects moving.

Startup Enablement

Launch-ready assets designed to help your business get launched, noticed, and moving forward.

Go ahead and take a look around

I bring ideas to life with a mix of creativity, strategy, and hands-on execution to help keep your brand just a little greener than your neighbors'.

If you need help with an upcoming project, then call D.A.D. Maybe email first.

Say Hello

Anyways, I live for that sweet spot between big ideas and actually making them real. Some days that looks like building brands, sketching storyboards, or pulling a team through a creative rut. Other days it’s just me chasing a “what if” until it turns into something useful (or at least fun to look at).

Outside of the design world, I’m usually knee-deep in some sort of home project, watching movies with the family, overbuilding something I could’ve just bought, or adding another tattoo to the collection.

In case you missed it, I am D.A.D (my initials), I am a DAD (says my daughters & dog), and I do D.A.D (direction and design).

This site isn’t just a gallery of projects, it’s a snapshot of how I work, play, and experiment. Years of creative direction, design, and hands-on tinkering all wrapped into one place.
