I’m Dylan—a prospective art director with a passion for visual storytelling. I would describe myself as ...
I’m a recent graduate from the University of Missouri with a Bachelor of Arts degree emphasizing Graphic Design. Through launching my own clothing line, I fully immersed myself in every stage of the creative and production process— designing, constructing, branding, and marketing.
This hands-on experience not only strengthened my design skills but also deepened my understanding of what it takes to bring a creative vision to life.
It pushed me to solve problems independently, develop a distinct visual identity, and tell stories through both product and content. More than just a brand, it became a testing ground for my ideas—shaping me into a self-motivated, multidisciplinary creative with a deep understanding of how to bring concepts
to life across mediums.
