Own the look, the loop, and the ship

01

Art direction

Brand systems, campaigns, motion, and taste — the look and feel people remember.

02

Product design

Flows, IA, and interfaces for operators and end users — how the product actually works.

03

AI + ship

Generative creative as a production system, and Next.js when building beats briefing.

About

Dhanai Holtzclaw

Los Angeles–based creative lead spanning art direction and product design. Twenty years across broadcast, advertising, web, and product — from agency creative direction at DJcity and Ciplex to founding Takeout Order, where I built the brand to $3.8M and the fulfillment software operators run every day.

I art-direct brand systems and campaigns, and I design the product surfaces those brands live in — feeds, ops tools, growth loops. Came up on Photoshop and Flash; After Effects followed. Today I direct AI-native generative creative and ship front ends in Next.js when that's faster than briefing it.

Doomsy, Parfade, and Studio sit alongside the brand work: proof I can own taste and systems — how it looks and how it works.

Open to opportunities

Art direction, brand, and product design roles — craft and systems. Based in LA, open across North America.
