My name is Dustin. I don't take myself too seriously, but do take my work seriously. I create visual spectacles and craft world-class creative products and stories. Critical thinking and solving problems through leadership, collaboration and vision is how I work. The big idea is always king. Or queen.

By trade, I'm an Art Director. My specialties are concept development, creative strategy, art direction and design for traditional, digital and non-traditional spaces. I’m very media agnostic. Storytelling through editing and motion graphics is also in my toolbox. I don't claim to be a writer, but I can crack a brief, idea write and assemble a mean deck. My work has been honored by Cannes Lions, Clios, AAF, ADC, Communication Arts, New York Festivals, LIA, Webbys, The Shorty Awards, FWA, How, Graphis, Effie, The One Show and The Radio Mercury Awards.

I love film, branding, writing music, comedy and The Cleveland Browns.
