12 YEARS
OF FREELANCE
Dale is an exceptional illustrator and graphic designer. Not only had I have had the honor of publishing his work, I have had the opportunity to collaborate on several other projects that required skill, creativity, and dynamism. Dale has all of those and more. He is a pleasure to work with and I look forward to many more fruitful collaborations.
Dr. Lee Francis IV
Founder & CEO Native Realities, Indigenous Comic Con
Over the last several years, Dale has essentially become my only go-to guy for all things design. His ability to author quality compositions suited to every unique request is second to none. Even if you have half an idea or an overly thought out request, Dale's ability as a maven of his profession will not only devise the design you need but will also bring your ideas to life in vibrant ways you never thought possible. Go Dale, or go home.

We had a really big and important deadline that was being designed in real-time. We needed someone who could see the big vision and execute on the ground with care and strong design skills. Dale Deforest delivered, we are grateful for his expansive creativity, professionalism, and the vision he brought to us.
Jaime Gloshay
Co-Director of Native Women Lead
Dale was the perfect person to work with us as a designer. We had light design details about what we wanted, had a short deadline, and needed an overall graphic presentation that would impress and also properly describe our coalition. He's accessible, talented, accountable, and a great listener, and we would wholeheartedly recommend him and his services.

A gifted illustrator, graphic designer and web designer, Dale has the ability to produce an enormous amount of work in a small amount of time. I appreciate his loyalty, dedication and detail-oriented work. His unique sense of humor and drive combine to make a great team member and friend to work with.

It’s an understatement to say that I would HIGHLY recommend his services for your graphic design and artistic needs.
