Doug Eaddy, Designer & Brand Strategist in Scranton, SC

About

As a Designer and Entrepreneur, I’m always seeking new opportunities to expand my experience and creative knowledge in the areas of Creative Direction, Graphic Design and Branding. My goal is to always educate and enlighten individuals about the importance of establishing effective and consistent branding. Therefore, I use this as an opportunity to not only incorporate my Architectural background, but to bring my expertise in Concept Development, Design Management, Design Presentations and Proposal Development.

During my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with multiple design agencies, publications and my own design studio, which rewarded me the opportunity to have my work featured on prominent websites and magazines such as Abduzeedo, Packaging of the World and Pattern Magazine. My designs also rewarded me to have winning selections for Grammy Award Nominee Recording Artist, Kendrick Lamar, Renowned National Recording Artist, Wale and obtain Honorable Mentions from other various clients and competitions.
