About Donovan McDonald

Creative Director at Echo And Ember

As a dedicated creative professional, I am passionate about empowering individuals and elevating the brands they represent. Drawing on extensive experience in Graphic Design, Branding / Identity Design, and Digital Marketing, I help clients define their unique vision, refine their voice, and translate their talents into impactful brand experiences.

My career began in the print industry, where I developed a deep appreciation for detail and precision. I later expanded into the commercial sector, refining my craft at a leading international design agency before stepping into an in-house Creative Officer role. There, I led strategic initiatives in social media, designed engaging monthly newsletters, and developed compelling product branding and marketing collateral.

Complementing my creative expertise is a strong foundation in psychology, supported by a bachelor’s degree and training as a lay counsellor and coach for change. This combination of creative skill and human insight allows me to mentor with empathy, inspire confidence, and guide individuals to harness both their professional capabilities and personal strengths.
