In this episode of the Durham Artist Archive (DAA), I caught up with Dasean Burnette, a talented designer and musician born and raised in Durham. We talked about his creative history starting with paintings in kindergarten to corporate graphic design roles, to today where he has his own design studio called OLED. We also touched on his clothing brand, Ultra Bad, and his dive into music that kicked off during the pandemic. Dasean’s journey is all about adaptability, creativity, and staying true to himself while serving his community.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in:

* The experience of someone who worked in corporate graphic design

* Hearing what it’s like to start your own design studio

* The experience of someone who creates every detail of their own music
