About

Growing up as a child of a musician and horticulturist, Davin was exposed to art from a very young age. His mother, Clivia, was a big proponent of museums and classes whereas his father, Chet, encouraged him to play music. When Davin was twelve, he encountered his first graffiti art on a trip to New York City. From that point on, that's all he wanted to do. Years later, after a friend first provided him with a copy of Adobe's Photoshop, he started mixing the two mediums and something happened. He started making graphics for the different sport-teams he was on, and CD covers for the band he was in. At that point, he hadn't realized that he was doing graphic design, but when he got accepted to Seton Hall University, it became clear that he had to follow his heart.

His first internship was at the second largest company in the world, Novartis Pharmaceuticals. There he learned branding due to their strict brand guidelines. His first job was at The Rug Importer in Paramus, NJ. After moving back to Massachusetts so his now fiancee, Alyse, could attend graduate school, Davin bounced around until he landed at a local hot-spot, Paradise Copies Design.

He lives in Holyoke, MA with his fiancee, Alyse and their two dogs Kenzie and Oliver (and two chinchillas, hamster, fish and a bonsai tree.)
