Background

When developing a name for my brand, I wanted something with more character than the typical “My Name Design.” Durge came from an unexpected, playful pronunciation of my initials, DRJ. This name feels as distinctive as the work I create while still keeping it personal.

I’m driven by the power of design to evoke emotion, spark dialogue, and shape perception. Each project is approached as an opportunity to create purposeful work, blending strategic thinking with expressive execution to solve real problems.

Specializing in custom typography, logotypes and branding, I build visual systems that are distinctive, memorable, and rooted in authentic storytelling. Constantly inspired by art and culture, I seek out new challenges that push my perspective and sharpen my process, enabling me to deliver thoughtful, impactful creative solutions.
