About DASTO
I weave color and code into small, usable miracles—art you can live with. These days I focus on my own products; I’m also open to thoughtful international collaborations.
Worldwide shipping · Remote-friendlyA Short Story
I grew up between canvases and consoles—sketchbooks smudged with graphite, browsers filled with experiments. Over time the two fused: illustration taught rhythm and restraint; front-end taught clarity and care. Now I build pieces that carry a mood: quietly odd, softly bright, built to last.
I design for the long arc: durable materials, readable interfaces, and choices that age with grace. If a work can make a room breathe easier—or a screen feel more human—I’m interested.
Approach
- Research → Sketch → Prototype → Refine: fast loops early, slow care later.
- Clarity × Character: every detail earns its keep—type, texture, timing.
- Craft you can feel: archival inks, accessible UIs, tidy repos.
Products first; commissions by fit. If your brand values warmth, precision, and a hint of gentle strangeness, we’ll get along.
