Hi, my name is Dave Markes, I’m a designer and art director, but more importantly a change agent for brands that are passionate about finding their unique brand voice and place in the world. My 20+ years in the industry have been a wild ride through many different shops, from independent agencies to in-house creative teams. I’ve had a passion for visual storytelling from the age of 3 with my first drawings of Mt. Capulin volcano. Since then, I’ve devoted my life to the craft I love, and believe strongly in life-long learning, adding to my creative knowledge every day. Most recently, I completed ex W&K veteran Jason Bagley’s Creative Megamachine, a course that sheds light on how the industries’ best do what they do. Over the years I’ve developed a deep understanding of brand strategy, positioning, archetypes, brand identity architecture, and a thorough process for collaborating with all stakeholders to achieve a brand platform that everyone can get excited about. If you are passionate about branding and are looking for a partner you can trust to help make it shine, give me a call.
