about
Hi, I’m Darin Hamm. I design distinctive identities for businesses and communities. I have worked in-house for city governments, serving as Tourism and Business Development Director for the City of Castroville, Texas, and earlier as Place Brand Manager for the City of Delta, Colorado. I have also partnered with businesses like Stoik Beer Company and Mind Blown Telluride. I listen first, learn the story, and build clear, consistent design that reflects a place and moves people to act. If you want a partner who will understand your community and amplify its voice, let’s talk.
AWARD WINNING WORK
Recognized for excellence in design, I've received numerous awards from Graphic Design USA and the American Advertising Federation. You will find my work for the City of Castroville celebrating print and digital design work. These accolades demonstrate my commitment to creating innovative, effective designs that resonate with audiences.
