Resume & CV
Daniel Aaron Doucette
“Good design is a language, not a style.”
I have successfully managed many projects, from conceptualization to execution, ensuring that the creative elements align with objectives. I believe form is informed by function, not trends – that simplicity, refinement and purpose are paramount.
At our best, humans build their world with thoughtful intent. When people ask me what I do, I tell them I’m a designer. I love to build things yes, but it always starts with design. I’ve designed and built a good many things over the years – hundreds of websites, virtual worlds, games, buildings, even businesses. I’d love to help you with yours.
