Hi! I'm Doug.

designer | builder | bread baker | classic country & western music enthusiast

I’m a Kent State University graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in Visual Communication Design and minor in User Experience Design. Before enrolling at KSU, I spent many years working in various construction fields around the greater Cleveland area, developing skills in team collaboration, precision detail accuracy, problem solving, client communication, and more. These skills helped me plunge into the world of design with confidence and success, graduating in December 2024 magna cum laude.

My design work often reflects my background. It’s been praised for its careful planning, and described as “architectural” due to precise measurements and real-world dimensionalities. When I can, I like to incorporate tangible materials and nontraditional processes to create strikingly unique visuals and breathe life into my designs.

When not engrossed in a design project, I can be found emitting and absorbing creativity in other ways, including, but not limited to cooking, woodworking, or playing and listening to music.
