I’m Devan Talley—a designer by trade, a dreamer by nature, and a damn good laugh when the room gets too quiet.

I’ve spent the last six years building creative work that connects: visual storytelling that resonates, branding that breathes, UX that actually feels human. From Seattle’s city pulse to the wild sun-soaked landscapes of Eastern Washington, I’ve drawn inspiration from the places and people who made me.

I believe design should work as beautifully as it looks—and that it should leave people better than it found them. Whether I’m editing a video with an eye for the story, mapping a seamless digital experience, or brainstorming wild ideas with a team, I lead with empathy, instinct, and grit.

Outside the screen, I’m chasing the dream of a homestead life—gardens, goats, river swims, and Sunday dinners with the people I love most. I believe in intuition, second chances, and the magic of 11:11.
I want to be remembered for the way I showed up—for others, for myself, for the planet.

Until then, I’ll keep creating, keep learning, and keep choosing joy.

Design with depth. Live with soul. 
Leave the world a little lighter than you found it.
