Meet the Team:
Connor Lumsden
Founder
With 8 years of experience in the performing art industry, 3 years working in youth and digital media at a church and 3 years running DIO, I understand the art and business of the digital world. I’m currently studying a bachelor of commerce (majoring in marketing) at Varsity College, who awarded me a Rising Star scholarship. I now combine these skills to make branding simple for clients around the world.
When I’m not building brands, I’m making bonsais and brewing beer. I’m about as chilled as they come and most people mistake me for an introvert!

Diogenes
DIO is short for Diogenes, the minimalist philosopher. He believed that less is more. That is what DIO is about; making media simple for you so that your brand can make the most of the internet, social media, print graphics and whatever else you can stick a logo on.
He was also a little bit wild. He took minimalism as far as living in a barrel and rejected most tenets he considered folly in the society around him. We hope to be even half as bold as him in the way we break rules and push boundaries in branding.

Values:
1.
Design for Good
We want to make things that leave the world a little better than we found it. This affects the clients we accept as well as the way we express their vision.
2.
Design for People
While we do make good use of artificial intelligence as a tool, we recognise that our brands are ultimately built by humans, for humans. Accessibility is a fundamental principle in our approach. We ensure that your brand resonates with all audiences, regardless of their backgrounds or abilities.
3.
Design Forever
We could draw you a cool logo and leave it at that, but we would rather equip you with a full brand identity and the tools needed to express your story in the long run.
Skills:
Design
You have a story to tell and a business to build. Together, we’ll design a digital identity to go with it.
Photography
DIO brings a camera to the table – along with the skills needed to bring your brand to life through the lens. You can see some of DIO’s photography by clicking here.
