Hello! I’m Dawson Wood, a young Métis designer who identifies as LGBTQ+. I specialize in graphic and industrial design, blending bold ideas with practical execution to deliver brand identities, packaging, and user-centered experiences. I thrive on collaboration, research-driven concepts, and crafting visuals that communicate clearly across print and digital media. I bring a hands-on approach to design projects, from concept through production, with experience in branding, packaging, web design, 3D design, and game-style interfaces. My work blends theory with practical application, and I enjoy leading teams on prototype and cross-disciplinary projects to explore new possibilities.
