Personal Interests:
I am a very active person and try to maintain a healthy lifestyle that includes cycling, swimming, hiking and various other activities. I spend a fair amount of my time volunteering for social events, either by helping to produce the event or designing products used to promote them. This includes the David Suzuki Foundation and the North Shore Mountain Bike Association. In 2003 I purchased a rare 1962.5 Acadian Invader wagon and have been restoring it as close to its original state as possible since, with much to still learn and do. Being creative is my lifelong passion and I plan to pursue it in its many forms, be it design, illustration or my mechanical and technical skills.

Personal and clients statements:
"Out of all the students we have ever had here over the years, I think you stood out as the one with the most potential."
"I would describe his style as: hipster funk with a classical animation feel. How does that sound? I would also try to throw in something about your sticker creation and application godliness but I'm not sure how to phrase it correctly :)
"When I brought Dana's art work file to the screen printers to put his artwork on my girly tee-shirts, the company I used wanted to know immediately who my graphic designer was because they had never seen such perfect file preparation. He made their life so easy and this is the reason why I will use Peg Design for my next project."
"- a great ability to perceive a clients needs from basic information - impeccable layout and aesthetic placement to deliver material that impress'."
"Dana knows how to deliver and is excellent under pressure. He is very cre8ive and technologically savvy therefore making him a huge asset to any deliverable oriented team or company. A definite "A" Player."
