About · Cleveland, Ohio
One designer, the whole team.team.
I'm Danny Sobek. For nine years I have been the design lead inside a family of companies — real estate software, enterprise data, a health and wellness platform, an agritourism farm and a golf club — which means building brands from nothing, redesigning products people already depended on, and shipping the marketing that had to pay for it all.
DS Design Co. is how I do that for other businesses too. You work with me directly, from the first call to the last file. There is no account manager, no hand-off between a designer and a developer, and no version of the work I didn't touch.

01 How I work
Five things that are true of every project.every project.
- 01
You talk to the person doing the work
There is no account manager between you and the design. The decisions and the replies are mine, which is faster and also why the work stays consistent. On the rare job that calls for a platform I do not live in, I bring in a specialist I trust and stay the one you talk to.
- 02
Fixed scope, fixed price, before design starts
You have a written scope from day one. If the job changes shape halfway, we re-scope it out loud rather than quietly stretching the original.
- 03
Two or three routes, argued for honestly
Not ten variations of one idea. You see genuinely different directions with my case for each, you pick one, and we commit. The rejected routes stay in the case studies on purpose.
- 04
Working previews, not static decks
You review a site in a browser and a video as a cut, not a PDF of screenshots. It is slower for me and better for you, because what you approve is what ships.
- 05
Built to outlast the project
Identity work ships with guidelines, source files and accounts in your name, so the brand never depends on me being around. A custom site is the one thing you will keep me for, by design: changes are one message away instead of a tool to learn.
