After deciding a career in professional soccer wasn’t in my cards, I turned a part-time job at a small print shop into full-time employment. Like it was yesterday I remember my first step in the direction of design – knowing I had a background in art my boss approached me to design a logo for a client. “First question I asked myself: what’s a logo?” By the end of a decade, after a thorough education in the design world of Washington, DC, I discovered my true passion: creating and building just about anything you can lay your hands or eyes on. Looking for a place to pursue that passion and raise a family we discovered a thriving design community in Raleigh, North Carolina — so we packed everything, made the move and set up shop as Dale Design. The rest is history.
