About
Our mission
Dumb Dope is on a mission to showcase diversity in every walk of life. From designers and film makers, to the writers and image makers, we believe that the world is better when you add your own flavor. Our mission is driven by a desire for all to be SEEN from our unique voices and perspectives. This MOVEMENT is about making our stories and talents more visible.
Our story
Dumb Dope started as a simple visual essay that has evolved into so much more. With the cultural climate becoming increasingly divisive, I established this platform to promote unity in the creative sphere. My career as a graphic designer allows me to tell an abundance of stories and more importantly, show what drives the human spirit.
Dumb Dope is a story that will continue to unfold and one that we will all write together.
