My name is Denver and I'm a Visual Designer. I'm based in Seattle (well.. technically Bellevue, but Seattle sounds so much cooler).
When I need to take a step back from design, you can find me playing video games, cooking, attempting to write music, or enjoying a good movie.
I get most of my inspiration from my natural experience with design. Whether it's finding frustration with a game's UI or being drawn to a particular website, it's internally identifying "why" in a kind of passive absorption of design.
I graduated as an Interactive Web Designer from Everett Community College, although I dabbled in design long since I was young. It really started when I entered logo design contests as a teen. After winning my first contest and earning $200, I thought to myself "Holy shit, I might actually be able to make a living doing something I enjoy...
My colleagues say that I pick things up very quickly and can break apart complex ideas into simple, more easily digestible, pieces. It's the process of understanding which is vital to effective communication, and thus design.
Currently, I'm a designer at COLOR Creative, where I'm a cog (but like, a cog that wants to be there and feels special) in a very badass machine.
I'll always see myself as a student, so I'm constantly looking for opportunities to learn and grow. To meet new people, experience new things, and find inspiration wherever it may be.
