Portrait of David Owen Hastings

Hi, I’m David Owen Hastings.

I’m a graphic designer, gallery artist, and modern quilter. In my design office, I work exclusively with nonprofit organizations, helping them with their branding and graphic design projects. In my art studio, I create richly-layered contemporary art pieces and modern quilt and textile designs. Sharing knowledge, encouraging creativity, and teaching new skills are personal passions: I give lectures and workshops on branding, art and textile techniques. I love to travel, especially in Asia, and enjoy sharing my experiences through travel photos and stories.
