His areas of professional practice in visual communications are Marketing, Identity, Branding, and New Product Launch & Development.

Informed by an urban and global perspective gleaned through profound experiences in professional practice, pedagogy, and transparency through holistic leadership, Daryl embraces inclusion and diversity, belonging, and, importantly, shared goals.
