I'm DJ, a creative director, brand designer, and founder of Pretzel Day– the studio that makes it all happen.

I help organizations that people care deeply about look as meaningful as the work they do. The nonprofit leaders, the arts organizations, churches, community builders, those unlocking accessibility, and the folks losing sleep at night because they believe what they're building is so needed. Those are my people.

While I love the design side of things, I'm just as interested in connecting on a human level and helping people communicate what makes their work matter in the first place (you know, really dig into it). The logo, website, campaign or event usually comes as a result of those interactions rather than the starting point.

If that sounds like the kind of partnership you're looking for, I think we'll hit it off.
