Hi, I'm Dawson Estep, a visual communication designer focused on branding and print/digital identity. I help teams build cohesive visual systems, from signage and layouts to brand guidelines, across campaigns and programs. I enjoy collaborative critique, rapid iteration, and turning complex ideas into clear, accessible visuals. When I'm not designing, I explore urban art, community projects, and personal projects in design tools like Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, and Procreate.
