About

Welcome! The name's Dimitri and I have been creating since middle school. My passions and skills in art and design stem from an unknown source, but have yet to disappear.
If you'd like to discuss a project, you're in need of a designer and would like to arrange a meeting to hear more about what I can do for you, or just fancy a chat then please get in touch!
