Dan Sullivan
Owner & Director at renascitur

Proprietor of solid direction, great design, and doing Montana things when not in front of a computer.
True story.

I’ve spent the last two decades proving that 'good design' is only half the battle, and design is nothing without strategy and intent behind it. Operating as renascitur, I’ve tackled everything from local mom-and-pop branding to lead design for the US’s top mapping and outdoor brand. My philosophy? If it doesn't solve the problem and drive results, it’s just a pretty picture. I bring high energy, creative grit, and a belief that if we aren’t having a bit of fun, we’re doing this whole thing wrong.

Naturally that just scratches the surface, as I’m more than just a pair of busy hands behind a screen. If you have any unanswered questions drop me a line. I’m pretty much an open book.
