Da Costa Design

Experience Design — Building Brands dacostadesign.com I help driven companies build better performing products which are meaningful and beautifully connected to the future of their business. I'm Cary Da Costa, creative director and identity designer from Canada with over 15 yrs experience living in the Dutch lowlands working with local & global brands. I began as a fanatic graphic designer where my career has moved swiftly into art/creative direction working with brand + identity design for product and digital technology. My trusted approach is multidisciplinary altogether. I embrace a ‘round-the-clock’ curiosity for all things digital. I remain dedicated to print and enjoy pushing my creativity with animation. All things considered, I deliver no-nonesense creative and aim to build engaging experiences which are not middle-of-the-road. I’m constantly driven by the challenge of designing for growth. I’ve developed a sensitive skill to customise all aspects of creative by expanding the possibilities and making it always fit for channel and platform. Demandingly I help brands stay relevant in a world-gone-digital. I aim to build experiences that people can connect with while constantly raising the bar— rethinking everything until final delivery. I am also keen on bringing stories to life in many different shapes and sizes.
