Doug Does Design

I'd rather handle these questions on the spot. I do this to receive a more natural answer from the heart. Just like my designs, I aim to keep every step of my process natural and authentic. These questions will be completed over the phone, email or on the Bark message service.

My business gives me the ability to do what I love most everyday while helping others become successful in their own ventures. Witnessing others make the most out of the designs I provide them is a feeling that words can't describe. It means the world to me when my creations can be used as a platform to heighten one's journey.

Working for myself provides me the opportunity to be my own boss, travel, and make an impact. The more I travel, the more culture is displayed through my designs. I live in Philadelphia full-time which is inspiring in it's own, however, creating in a new space every now and then adds a discomfort that can be eye-opening to my design process.
Making an impact on other business owners and/or designers is huge to me. This can be a very discouraging trade at times and being able take the time to inspire those who are struggling is why I do what I do. It breaks my heart to see other creatives give up on their dreams. I honestly wouldn't be where I am today if it weren't for others inspiring me to make my dreams a reality. I look to provide the same for others every chance I get.

I've known what I wanted to do since I was 14 years old. Naturally, I began gravitating towards this field when I started designing my own skateboards, t-shirts and posters for fun in high school. Creating art has been my passion since before I can remember; it has never felt like work to me. This enjoyment inspired me to take as many design classes as possible in my younger years. Now, 12 years later, our paths have crossed and I'm readily prepared to take your venture to new heights.
Through numerous life changes, design has been my pillar. That includes a move from my hometown of Lancaster to Philadelphia where I had to take a leap of faith and put my comfortable life and full-time job behind me.  That terrifying risk, and many others alike, have contributed to the evolution of my business. In order for this journey to be a success, I had to trust my abilities entirely. Now that I've conquered my personal endeavor, I'm fully equipped to offer the same for your company by building a visual foundation for success through my designs and experiences.
