Darius Parkinson (DopeDarius) is a free-lance graphic designer based in the United Kingdom. Growing up in the inner city, Dope was exposed to a mix of cultures, art and artists. Darius loves all things tech! In his early career he worked as an IT technician however a deep passion and love for pop art and street art soon overshadowed his love for technology. Darius embarked upon his graphic design journey combining these two crafts. 

Darius’ genesis began by selling simple graphics packages for small businesses running on social media consisting of business cards, flyers, websites and logos. It was at a networking event when things changed. He was approached by a fashion brand that required his services for a capsule collection. Apprehensive and with no knowledge of the fashion industry or fashion design, Darius delivered but not without a great deal of self training and research. 

5 years on and Darius has evolved. He now works with some of the UK’s most popular urban streetwear brands. His skills, knowledge and ability to bring ideas to reality has made him much sought after and a definite one to watch in future!
