DAN BLESSING
Founder & Branding Playmaker
Hi there! I'm Dan, the branding playmaker behind Design Shark. Creativity has been in my DNA from a young age. I spent hours sketching made-up superheroes and building with LEGOs, completely lost in my imagination. Around the same time, sports became a big part of my life. I thrived on the energy and competition of being on the field and watching the hometown teams with my Dad (Go Birds!).
My background in art and sports shaped me into the creative I am today. Like football, branding is a team sport. We'll build your identity together through a straightforward, no-fluff process that keeps things simple, effective and focused on results.
