Dustin O. Canalin is a Bay Area raised Creative Director, Product Designer and Artist based in New York City. For more than 20 years, he has built a career at the intersection of sport, culture, fashion and design, and has become a sought after creative known for bringing cultural relevance, strong storytelling and a distinct point of view to brands and product.

Today, Dustin works through Trophy Hunting Design, an independent creative studio focused on brand strategy, creative direction, apparel, product and special projects. Recent clients include Paper Planes, Lotto, Harlem Globetrotters and The Athlete’s Foot.

He is also the co-founder and Creative Director of Trophy Hunting®, an apparel brand rooted in prep and sport, using those familiar codes as a starting point to push design, proportion, graphics and storytelling in a new direction.

Alongside his commercial work, Dustin has continued to develop his own art practice. His work pulls from basketball, sport, memory, the Bay Area and the visual language he grew up around. Through illustration, painting, graphics and objects, he explores many of the same ideas that have shaped his design career, but from a more personal point of view.

Dustin’s career includes work with Nike, Adidas, Curry Brand, PUMA, the NBA, WNBA and Golden State Warriors. At Nike Basketball, he worked across the launch of Nike’s NBA partnership, led Special Projects and developed athlete and collaboration work. He also created the Golden State Warriors “The Town” uniform and worked on the inaugural Nike WNBA uniform system and City Edition projects for teams including the Brooklyn Nets, Minnesota Timberwolves, Chicago Bulls and Philadelphia 76ers.

Dustin began his career at AND1, where he rose to Design Director and helped lead the branding, apparel and creative direction that defined the Mixtape era. He later founded UNDRCRWN®, the independent basketball inspired apparel brand he led as Creative Director for 10 years.
