Who We're For
You’re a rebel, artist, disruptor – a person or company unafraid to make waves and challenge norms both personally and professionally. Untouched by the corporate world's demand for "growth at all costs," we bring a refreshing holistic perspective to your brand. With our human-first approach, we help your brand reach its people and potential so you can make the impact you were destined to make.
Our Ethos
We honor that you’re more
than just an entrepreneur.
While we fully understand the financial value of great branding, we also understand that business goes deeper than money for you. Same here. When we work with your brand, we prioritize creating real human connection above all else.
We provide support beyond
colors and fonts.
Your audience doesn't care about HEX codes and font widths; they want to connect and belong. We craft brands that are rich in meaning, so your community has something to believe in, be part of, and shout about from the rooftops.
We work to make your
name known, not ours.
Our process is collaborative and co-creative – you bring the vision and we execute it. We blend creativity and strategy to produce unique, bold designs that showcase YOU. Unlike others, we start each brand from scratch to make your brand known, not ours.
We help you feel like you again.
We’re masters in asking all the right questions, we excel at maximizing your best qualities through branding, and we genuinely want to see you “shyne.” We’re your biggest cheerleader and challenger in one. Let's build something you love.
We're led by
Hi, I'm Shyne! I founded DBS when I was 17 years old, and it's seen many evolutions since. I've always considered it a canvas for my expression and stewardship, as opposed to a "traditional business." As a multidisciplinary designer who changes business models like I change my socks, what unites all of my passions and skills (branding, motion design, marketing, community building, etc.) is the idea of helping humans flourish.
I believe in finding meaning and magic in the mundane, and turning the ordinary into the extraordinary. I see the world through orange-colored lenses, and through my creative practice, I hope to help you embrace the vibrance and special sauce in your own life, brand, and career.
