BEHIND THE DUCK

The Man Behind The Duck

Born into a family of architects and craftsmen, Daniel has been exposed to, absorbed, learned and applied his passion for art and design for most of his life.

Daniel graduated of the University of Adelaide under a Bachelor of Media specialising in Graphic Design and continued to hone is skills, applying for international online education roles from some of the best people in the industry.

Daniel has, and continues to work in the corporate world under SkyCity Adelaide as a Senior Designer, ideating, creating, contributing and delivering brands on an international scale.

His dream is to go full-time with ToxicDuck, creating logos and identities with people just as passionate as himself.

Daniel’s care for people and genuine interest is something rare in this day and age. His unrelenting passion and drive to help deliver success to people and their business’ is why he gets up in the morning.

Graphic design is a profession more than just creating something that looks and feels good, it’s understanding everything and everyone. The more you take in, understand, the better your judgement to provide an informed, objective solution.

The grind never stops. I like to believe I continue to grow, evolve and adapt. Every day offers an opportunity to learn more.

If I can make a living designing logos every day, I’ll be happy.
