Design should be fun and functional.
Hi! I’m Dan. I’m a multidisciplinary artist living in the Bay Area.
I’m looking to work with creative and daring teams on projects that engage and push boundaries.
Working in all parts of Packaging Production and Digital Marketing, I have experience in every step of the process. Design, prepress, production, social media, management, art direction, even sales.
Outside of professional work, I do a lot of personal artwork and video projects.
Please feel free to contact me. I look forward to working together!

Backpackboyz
Art Director - Brand Designer
Backpackboyz is a California cannabis brand with a cult like following of devoted fans. I’ve spent the past 3 years managing the brand’s look and feel and in that time the company has grown from a small niche cannabis brand to a top player with three brick and mortar locations in Southern California.
Working at Backpackboyz gave me the opportunity to work on several celebrity cross-promotion campaigns including Snoop Dogg and Scotty Pippen.
