A native of Los Angeles, Damien inherited his love of art and design from his father, and a love for music and performing from his mother. After earning his graphic design degree from the Academy of Art College in San Francisco, California, he would combine his passions by art directing for a variety of national consumer music publications like Guitar Player Magazine and Electronic Musician. Seizing an opportunity to work abroad, Damien spent 5 years in Greece, designing for Athens-based communications agencies in the government, energy, financial, and real estate sectors. Of his experience as an expat designer, Damien observes “I was given a unique insight into the country’s economic and political challenges, and the chance to advance her interests through my own vision.” It was during this overseas tenure that Damien’s work was noticed half the globe away by MSI Communications. Imported into Anchorage in 2023, Damien survived his first Alaskan winter ungored by a moose.
