I’m an experienced and versatile multidisciplinary designer, creative director and photographer based in Calgary, AB, Canada. I design and photograph both directly for commercial clients and in tandem with design and advertising agencies. I’ve worked with some of the world’s largest brands including Hoonigan, Dell, Canon, Ford, Samsung, Lincoln, and Google Maps.

“Dax is an exposed nerve who feels things deeper than most, and it shows in everything he creates. That emotional depth is his superpower. He’s as strategic as he is creative, not only bringing artistic vision but knowing how implement strategy to accomplish targets. Whether it’s photography, brand design, or creative direction, Dax brings a rare mix of sensitivity and precision. He’s the most gifted visual storyteller I’ve worked with, and it’s always a pleasure to collaborate with him.” – K. Collins, Revenue Strategist & Fractional Leader
