A little about me and what I do

Despite how it looks like it should sound, it’s pronounced (Dill-ah-hey), but I embrace all mispronunciations of it.

I live in Pensacola, Florida with my wife, Jennifer, and my daughter, Wren. I am the bearer of treats to an Australian Shepherd named Bigsby and a Himalayan cat named Dennis. I play guitar in a band and ride motorcycles in my spare time.

I specialize in branding, layout, UX/UI, illustration & typography. I get a little nasty with a camera and I know just enough about video to make me dangerous.

My creative process begins by learning about who I’m working with and what we’re working on together. I like for everything that I make to be personal, to imbue the meaning of a company’s ethos into the design. I design for the people behind the name. And I think there’s a certain kind of special goodness that shows up when you invest time into learning the “why” instead of the “what”.

Someone smarter than me said, “In the particular lies the universal.” That sounds a little nicer than other idioms that mean the same thing, but that’s what I’m looking for.
