Good design is more than the sum of its parts. I love looking at a beautiful magazine spread, illustration, or app and experiencing the immense power a simple arrangement of elements can possess. The ability to enchant is not exclusive to visual design. All forms of art can transcend their makeup when possessing the right combinations of ingredients used in the right way.
I have applied this approach to many mediums over my career. I've worked professionally as a music producer, video editor, and graphic designer. Check out my music project Fantazmz here.
In recent years I have focused on dedicating my talents to clients with goals that extend beyond the realm of financial gain. Recently I did work for UNICEF, including heading the production of a video starring Netflix personality Marie Kondo.
Currently, I am using my skills as an illustrator and animator at New York City-based company Give lively. Give lively builds free tools and software for nonprofits raising money for progressive causes, including gender and racial equality, reproductive health and LGBTQ+ rights, social and environmental justice, education, domestic violence, immigrant services, and more.
If you appreciate my work and my outlook, please feel free to reach out. I am always interested in collaborating to make positive visions a reality.
Thank You,
David Gagne
