"Design is communication,
an art of visual Storytelling"
Daniel Hurst - Graphic DesignerÂ
My name is Daniel Hurst and I am a Graphic Designer & Photographer based in Toowoomba Australia. I have always had a passion for design and creativity, growing up I was known as the ‘art kid’ and would spent my days sketching, painting and doing photography.
When I graduated high school I began working as a full-time junior designer for a printing company whilst completing my Certificate IV in Graphic Design. Along with learning design theory, I also gained hands-on experience working in client communications, finance and organising. After 2 years I was promoted to production manager, where I am still working today.
As well as working full time as a graphic designer I take on freelance design projects involving many areas of design.
​
God has blessed me in my pursuit of design, opening up opportunities and pathways.
I would not be where I am today without trusting in him. He is the source and inspiration of all creativity.
When I’m not designing I enjoy bushwalking, kayaking, scuba diving, snowboarding and all things adventure.
