Dean is an artist, designer, activist, community organizer and perpetual dreamer and tinkerer of what could be.

He has more than 30 years of experience in branding, communications and strategy in a diverse range of applications/organizations, from Fortune 500 brands, to pioneers in social entrepreneurship, to local grassroots community organizations. He is obsessed with how he can leverage his skills, experience and technology to help toward a healthier, safer, more just world, and ultimately to collective liberation for ALL.

Coming from a strong lineage/tradition of visual/UX design and technology, he has been helping organizations navigate and leverage the world’s ever evolving digital landscapes to accomplish their goals and to tell their stories for the past 25+ years. Since the Covid pandemic, he has been on the leading edge of designing and creating in-person/virtual hybrid solutions for organizations as they adjust to the new norms of remote working and gathering.

In all his work, his approach is to lean into the human side of the equation, by including all the stakeholders in the process (especially those most affected by the problem at hand) and co-creating the solutions applied to ensure the best possible outcomes and adoption amongst those who will ultimately use them.
