I had the pleasure of working with Dusty at MERGE, a top 100 independent full-service agency. As the lead for our 10-person internal marketing team, I saw firsthand the immediate impact he made as our sole designer and art director. He elevated the creative across all our channels and projects, most notably in a major initiative to bring our new brand guidelines to life. Dusty is a rare talent who seamlessly blends strategy with execution at scale. He was an outstanding partner, and any company would be incredibly fortunate to have him art directing their team. I sincerely hope to work with him again in the future.
