Meet the Founders of Dante Davis Design

Where Strategy Meets Creativity. Where Culture Becomes Brand.

​

At the helm of Dante Davis Design is a powerhouse duo: Dante Davis, the visionary creative director and brand strategist, and Jocelyn, the dynamic Co-Owner and Director of Client Relations & Digital Strategy.

 

Together, they bring over 25 years of creative excellence, bold innovation, and deep-rooted passion for empowering businesses of all sizes—especially minority-owned brands—with unforgettable branding and breakthrough marketing.

 

Dante Davis – Creative Visionary

Dante launched Dante Davis Design in 1999 with a mission to change how people of color show up in the marketplace. Known for his signature style—bold, disruptive, and culturally tuned—Dante has designed and rebranded over 1,000 brands across the U.S. and internationally. His work has touched everything from celebrity brands to political campaigns, nonprofit movements to global celebrations.

 

His client list reads like a who’s who: Cox Communications, Paris Hilton, Queen Latifah, Sean "Diddy" Combs, 50 Cent, Pretty Ricky, Universal Music Group, Juneteenth Atlanta and Harlem, The Grammys, and many more. A self-taught prodigy, Dante's passion began at age 3, was nationally published by 8, and has only grown stronger with time. Now based in Austin, Texas, he continues to lead the design industry with intention, excellence, and cultural impact.

 

 Jocelyn – The Strategist & Storyteller

Jocelyn, known as the "Extenuator" of the company, is the strategic engine that keeps Dante Davis Design running with precision and heart. A proud graduate of Central Connecticut State University with a B.S. in Sports Marketing and Management, she originally set her sights on becoming a sports agent. Instead, she now negotiates branding deals and leads digital campaigns with the same hustle and heart she once reserved for the NBA and NFL.

​

She oversees client relations, digital strategy, and project management—ensuring that every client not only gets results but feels fully supported, seen, and celebrated. Outside of work, she’s a fierce competitor in The Greatest Baker competition and a proud fan of K-pop—especially BTS and Jungkook—whom she discovered in November 2023. As a half-Korean, half-Black woman, she deeply values representation and storytelling that reflects identity, power, and purpose.
