I’m Dustin, a graphic designer who partners with teams looking to make meaningful change. I began working in healthcare early in my career and learned that the work I valued most wasn’t just visually compelling—it also made a real difference. That experience shaped my outlook for using my skills as a force for good.

The name Making North embodies my passion to help teams turn ideas into purposeful action.
