👋 I'm Dakota.

My name is Dakota Berg and I'm a designer currently based in New York. I found design at an early age, knowing from that day forward that design would be at the forefront of whatever I would do. My parents instilled in me the desire to leave things better than I found them and were always supportive of my "creative venture of the day". By the age of 15 I was doing freelance graphic design work for clients in and around my hometown and I've been doing all kinds of design and creative work since.

Born & raised in the PNW.

I was born and raised in Washington state to a serial business owner and a medical assistant with one older brother. I lived in various rural and urban areas of Washington state. After graduating from college, where I was introduced to web and product design, I moved to New York City to continue my professional career. In 2020, in the peak of the pandemic, my now wife and I moved out to Central New York to work remotely.

Travel & food.

Growing up on the Food Network and travel documentaries, I gained a great appreciation for other cultures and cuisines. This has pushed me to want to explore more of the world. Outside of the United States and Canada, I have traveled to beautiful places in France such as Provence and Paris as well as Greek islands such as Santorini and Ios, and I can’t wait to have many more adventures with my wife, Natalia.

Along with working directly with many clients through my freelance work, I have worked alongside some amazing designers and art directors at various top design agencies and have played key roles working cross-functionally with engineering teams, marketing teams, and business executives at various tech startups.

My education

My career so far

Applying my years of experience and education in design and business, I love bringing other people's visions to life and making brands and products standout amongst their competitors. I do this with a blend of top-notch design, business thinking, market research, and problem solving.
