DK CREATIVES is a intimate design and marketing firm based out of New York, with its diverse team of illustrators, graphic designers, photographers, marketing specialists and art directors DK CREATIVES is able to deliver the industries latest trends and techniques to life.

Inspirations/Influences?

Inspirations I must say life it self, might sound banal but true. Someone who says different is just nit picking. As for influences def weather, it changes everything in me.

Favorite Artists?

My favorites change as I do but a few constants:

• Pierre Winthers, Erwin Olaf and Immortal Technique are the ones I revisit regularly.

Favorite project so far and why?

I must say its Du Parc - an exclusive private residence in Switzerland. The client trusted me and I was able to nourish my inspiration with that, creating very nice quality work.  Nowadays with the whole economic craze you rarely find a client/project that puts so much trust in a creative without chopping away your concept and leaving you bare.

Dream project for you?

I have been long chasing a public city project where I could use NYC as a canvas and create something for the people by the people, involving all the segments of New York City life.

Favorite Sites/Blogs?

I love :

Some of your favorite NY spots?

Bar Pitti feeds, The Box entertains and a new addition to my list is The Lion. Otherwise a house party is always the most intimate.

Anything else you'd like to share Daniel?

Yes....stay inspired
