Hi. Daniel Hastings here – artist, writer, designer, builder.

Whether I’m working for companies, collectors or homeowners, my goal is to bring the best of my talent and energy to work with me every day. I’ve been a creative professional for over 30 years and work in three verticals: commercial art, fine art and building.

Commercial / Brand Work
I work with brands, startups and other organizations to create powerful identities, products, collateral marketing campaigns that speak to national and global audiences. I serve as Chief Creative Officer of Swell, a social audio startup, and am currently working on a humorous book called Jimmy the Chicken.

Fine Art
My work is detailed and textural. My drawings, paintings and photos tend to center around tools, hardware, nature and decaying metal. I have original work for sale and typically show 2-3 times a year.

Building
I build everything from trade show exhibits to residential work spaces. I’m a licensed residential general contractor in Oregon. I specialize in purpose-built furniture, home offices and art studios.

My home base is in Portland, OR and I work up and down the West Coast. If you’ve got a project to talk about get in touch here, I’d love to hear from you.

Cheers!  – DH
