JOSIAH DUKA
Hi, I’m Josiah. I am a designer living and working in North Phoenix.
My work encompasses branding and identity, web and digital design, as well as print marketing and advertisements. I have a passion for giving clients a compelling visual identity to help connect their business, product, or organization with the public.
My enthusiasm for graphic design started early. At 7, I was designing flyers and brochures in Publisher ’98, as every normal kid does, not realizing that I could get paid for this passion. By 11, I was using design (still Publisher) to prank my dad with fake mail, that, admittedly went too far a couple times, but further fueled my excitement for this art form. I quickly reformed my ways and put my energy into making money with design. I got my first logo client at 12 and made a whopping $200. I was hooked. At 14, I got my first copy of Photoshop. No more Publisher!! A few months later I got my first job, at a marketing company, as a designer. Coincidence? I think not. Now that I’m 21 (this bio is starting to sound like a bizarre rendition of “7 Years” by Lukas Graham), my passion for this work has only increased. I may not be that trouble-making child designer, perched in front of MS Office ’98, gazing into a CRT monitor the size of Kansas anymore, but that spark has never left.
