Thinking Outside the Box, Without Cutting Corners

DaMarcus Nelson partners with mission-driven brands to turn ideas into design that drives impact, not just decorates.

My design philosophy is rooted in the belief that I am not simply “a creative.” We are all creatives made in the image and likeness of our Creator (Genesis 1:27).

For a long time, I defined myself by the title of “creative,” validated only by the tools and software I had mastered. But today, I understand creativity and expression as not mine to own. My work belongs to God, and I am simply His vessel (Exodus 31:3).

As I steward my responsibility as both a designer and a man of God, I pursue partnerships, collaborations, and projects that result in meaningful impact for people.

My design style is rooted in process rather than product. It’s an iterative journey of identifying problems and crafting solutions while thoughtfully considering the many factors that shape each decision along the way.

Ultimately, as I carry out this calling, I partner with mission-driven brands to turn ideas into design that drives impact, not just decorates.

I craft brand identities that go beyond logos by building scalable design systems with cohesive typography, color, imagery, and messaging. Each identity is rooted in strategy and designed to express who you are, not just what you sell.

I guide the big picture. From campaign concepts to content direction, I help brands translate vision into strategy and ensure every creative output feels aligned, intentional, and impactful.

I design and build websites that blend creativity with functionality—modern, responsive, and optimized to connect with your audience. From portfolios to e-commerce, I create digital experiences that are as strategic as they are visually compelling.

I produce videos that engage and inspire—story-driven, professionally edited, and tailored to your audience. Whether promotional, documentary-style, or event coverage, I bring stories to life through impactful visuals.

I create collateral that equips brands to communicate effectively—presentations, social graphics, print materials, and campaign assets. Each piece is designed to be clear, consistent, and conversion-focused.

I design branded products from apparel to promotional goods and manage the production process end-to-end. By aligning quality with brand expression, I ensure your merchandise makes a lasting impression.

And finally, a Dad joke to tie it all together... 😉

An NFL player, a nonprofit founder, and two Christian artists didn’t walk into a bar —
They walked into my inbox.


Why? Because they needed strategy, design, and content that hits harder than a linebacker and reaches further than a Sunday livestream.
