Available to hire
Hello! I’m Dakota Stevenson, a versatile designer and photographer with a passion for storytelling through visuals. I earned a B.F.A. in Computer Animation and a B.S. in Geology from Sam Houston State University, and I blend creative design with technical know-how to deliver compelling visuals. My experience ranges from capturing guests’ memories as a Disney Photo Imaging Photographer to supporting retail and logistics teams at Lowe’s, all while staying focused on customer experience and collaboration.
In addition to my design and photography work, I enjoy exploring 3D animation and CAD design, which fuels my portfolio and drives my ongoing pursuit of higher education and new certifications like HAZWOPER. I’m excited to continue growing across creative and technical roles and contribute to teams that care about quality and service.
