Hi, I’m Darius
a designer who connects with clients to create work that builds trust and lasting relationships.
Right now, I’m looking to join a creative team that values building relationships as much as delivering great work. I’m passionate about designing with empathy and creating experiences that make clients and their customers feel seen.
- Small businesses like hair salons, authors, and public speakers to create brands that feel like a friendly handshake — welcoming, memorable, and built to turn first-time visitors into repeat clients.
- Healthcare and leadership professionals to simplify complex ideas into visuals that resonate (like the 50+ short videos I created for BJD Leadership Training, which earned 500+ reactions and 13K+ impressions on LinkedIn).
- Nonprofits and community organizations to design solutions that inspire action (like rebuilding a church website that strengthened their community connections while saving thousands of dollars).
I’m a multidisciplinary designer with over a decade of experience crafting brands, websites, and campaigns that feel human. My superpower? Listening to clients, understanding their goals, and translating that into designs their audiences love.
What keeps me grounded as a designer?
- Thrifting for sharp, budget-friendly outfits taught me that great design isn’t about flashy trends — it’s about finding pieces that fit and make people feel confident.
- WWE fandom showed me the power of storytelling to hook audiences and keep them coming back (just like good branding should!).
- The Enneagram helps me communicate better by understanding how different people see the world (I’m a 4w5, which means I’m all about authenticity and depth!).
These passions shape how I work: I focus on designs that feel personal, intentional, and built to last — just like the relationships I create with clients.
I’m currently reading Revenge of the Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell, which reminds me that even small, thoughtful design choices can make a big difference for businesses.
I design with:
- Tools: Adobe Creative Suite, Canva, WordPress
- Superpowers: Audience empathy, relationship-building, and storytelling that feels authentic
- Mindset: “Great design starts with great conversations.
