Hello friend I’m Doug Giffney,
creative and senior designer.


Designer by day, creative by ambition, climber by weekends and baker by night. I am an experienced creative and designer with expertise in helping clients and agencies build modern brands and campaigns.

I believe the best creative solutions come at the intersections of creativity across skills like collaborative ideation, shared experiences, art direction, copywriting and empathy. In an increasingly digital world, I enjoy exploring the role and progression of design to help businesses transform and grow.

I’m interested in new opportunities so please reach out if you’re interested in working together or even to just connect and chew the fat, always happy to meet fellow creatives.
