I’m Dante Davis—the artist, strategist, and heartbeat of Dante Davis Design. Since 1999, I’ve been on a mission to redefine how people of color show up in the marketplace. I don’t just design logos—I build legacies. With over 25 years of experience and more than 4,000 brands launched and elevated, I specialize in creating bold, culture-driven identities that are built to move, speak, and inspire.

​

I was born in Wichita, Kansas and grew up alongside Sheinelle Jones—yes, that Sheinelle Jones from NBC’s Today Show. Creativity has been part of my story since childhood: I was sketching by age 3, nationally published by 8, and later trained professionally at art school in Denver, Colorado. Now based in Austin, Texas, I lead a creative agency where strategy meets culture and design becomes a catalyst for growth.

​

My journey has taken me from working with global celebrities to helping grassroots organizations find their voice. I’ve designed for Paris Hilton, Queen Latifah, Diddy, Pretty Ricky, Cox Communications, Koryn Hawthorne, Elle D, Universal Music Group, The Grammys, and Juneteenth celebrations in both Harlem and Atlanta. Internationally, I’ve worked with the St. Maarten Airport and the Ghanaian African Diaspora, bringing culture to life on a global scale.

​

In the faith-based community, I’ve helped shape the visual identity of some of the most influential ministries and networks in the country, including Apostle I.V. Hilliard, Bishop Eddie Long, Pastor Jamal Bryant, Bishop Steven Hodge, Pastor Riva Tims, and the Impact Network.

​

My civic and political work includes branding and digital design for Former Mayor Pro-Tem and Councilman Roderick Gay in College Park, Georgia—developing platforms that uplift and serve entire communities.

​

I’m also one half of a power couple. My wife and business partner, Jocelyn Simmons Davis, is the Co-Owner and Director of Client Relations & Digital Strategy. Together, we lead a creative agency driven by excellence, authenticity, and heart.

If you're ready to build something real—something bold, strategic, and culture-forward—let’s get to work.
