Design By Duncan on dropping out, challenging himself and being around the right people

A connoisseur of kinetic movement, Duncan Brazzil is a Portland-based graphic designer who, under his studio moniker Design By Duncan, has crafted striking visuals for a global client list that includes Rihanna’s FENTY, Nike, Universal Music Group and Esquire. We checked in with him to find out about his journey to date. EM: Hey Duncan. How’re you doing? DB: I’m doing great and hope you are too! Things are going really well! I’m about to start two fun exciting projects – a motion project for Snapchat and a branding project for an events company based in California which will be fun, because I don’t do branding work too often. Will be fun to try and incorporate motion into the identity system! Although it’s uncertain times it’s interesting to see what is moving forward in the world.
