Create. Sleep. Repeat.

I’m Darnell: a designer, web developer, photographer, and author driven by curiosity and storytelling. Whether behind a camera or a screen, I create ideas to life with clarity and intention.

Let's Work!

I listen, observe, and build with purpose. With over a decade of experience in design, development, photography, video, and storytelling, I’ve worked across eCommerce, government, travel, SaaS, education and non-profit industries. Whether leading or supporting, I believe that the best work doesn’t just look good, it feels right.

Projects

Because creativity rarely stays in one lane — it moves, evolves, and finds new forms. For me, it’s never been about choosing one medium — it’s about following the idea wherever it wants to go.

"...how'd we get here?" LP

20 years later, I finally completed an album — the full-circle moment of my creative journey that started with music.

“…how’d we get here?” is a blend of R&B, soul, house, jazz, and lo-fi hip-hop, reworking early instrumentals from my youth.

FEELS LIKE HOME

Feels Like Home: a photobook journal (2022) is a collection of personal reflections paired with nature photography, capturing the emotional and environmental shifts between 2018 and 2022.

EP. 18: Darnell Creates

I had the pleasure of joining the Beyond Normal Podcast for its 18th episode to talk about the journey behind my creative path. In this conversation, I share how my career evolved across industries and disciplines — and what ultimately inspired me to explore, create, and build something of my own.
