Designing a Football Club from Scratch | Good Practice FC World Cup Capsule
Good Practice FC began as an exercise in building a football club from the ground up. Starting with the crest, typography, and visual identity, the project expanded into a complete World Cup-inspired apparel collection including jerseys, warm-ups, graphics, and supporting brand elements.
The project draws from classic international football, vintage club culture, travel, supporter traditions, and the visual language that surrounds the world's game.

New Project: "Bedroom Floor" Rug By DOC® Hand Knotted By Kasra Rugs
“Bedroom Floor”
My latest piece titled “Bedroom Floor” is a 5’x7’ hand-knotted rug, handcrafted in collaboration with Kasra Rugs, a second-generation family business built on tradition and craftsmanship.
Growing up I was obsessed with basketball athletes and shoes my room was my world. It was a place where I surrounded myself with everything that inspired me. My collection of clothes sneakers posters trophies, magazines, albums video games were displayed like museum for a few days then it all ended up on the floor by the weekend I’d reset it and do it all over again. It was a cycle from messy to museum.
Looking back, those objects defined how I saw design, identity and culture. Growing up in the 90s shaped my perspective in a way that still shows up in my work today.
This piece was created to be both art and object. Something that can be hung in a home, a space or a gallery for viewers to go back to the time when they were inspired them to see the world they do.
Available. Inquire for more info.

The Drink Cart Show Logo Design | Branding & Identity For Homecoming Network

New Project - Good Practice®
"Practicing good for all."
My latest project has been in the works for a few years now. I teamed up with The Athlete's Foot. Thanks to Matt Lafone Darius Billings and team for trusting me to build a new brand that is built on doing the work to build community and positivity in today's youth culture.
After a soft launch of the first season, The second season of Good Practice explores the idea of “the race” in all its forms. The collection takes aesthetic inspiration from the energy of NASCAR and F1 while drawing meaning from the collective race of humanity and the personal race of life’s journey. Muted primary colors reflect the wear and history of the path traveled, while bold race-inspired graphics channel the authentic connection between design and sport. Classic sports silhouettes are elevated with textured fabrics and rich details, creating pieces that feel both lived-in and one of a kind.
“To me, racing isn’t just about cars—it’s about people, purpose, and progress. This collection is about honoring the journey we’re all running, in our own lane, at our own speed.”
As with every Good Practice collection, the goal is to push progress and purpose through life’s stories and experiences

Trophy Hunting x Golden State Valkyries Collaboration
Valkyries x Trophy Hunting®
In the latest Trophy Hunting News, we recently released a 8 pc capsule of apparel and hats for the Golden State Valkyries. Since it’s their first season, we were super hyped to be given the opportunity to carry our imprint on Bay Area sports. Especially for me.
““My connection and upbringing in
the Bay Area was utilized in making sure that we equally represented the team’s dual home cities of Oakland and San Francisco. We infused that Bay Area heritage first, and then grounded the collection with the Trophy Hunting aesthetic.””
We wanted the Valkyries capsule to capture the energy of a new team while staying true to the Bay, pulling from Trophy Hunting’s common themes of varsity heritage.
Kari Cruz and I built this collection under Trophy Hunting® to feel timeless and aspirational. We pulled in Oakland’s flower the Chrysanthemum as a nod to the Town.
The response was amazing. Everything sold out quickly. Seeing it sell out instantly and hearing from so many people about how much they connected with it is truly the best part of design. Look for more from us and the Valkyries. Go Valks!

More to come from me and the LPGA. Stay tuned!
The Art of A T-Shirt
All of the DOC® T-shirts are hand drawn by me. I've always been inspired by the time before computers, when design was created entirely by human. Throughout my career I've used every tool available, but I’ve always been gravitated to executions that had the character of a brushstroke or the uniqueness of human error. So now as the "AI artwork" generation has begun, I feel even more motivated to create and craft my own artwork by hand for all of my T-shirts.

Did Kith & Wilson Just Copy Trophy Hunting’s 2022 Concept? - A Design Perspective & Code of Ethics By Dustin O. Canalin
The design community is small.
And as a Designer I know that we all spend hours researching, lurking, gate-keeping… basically knowing what’s going on.
“I see everything.”
So to call this a coincidence or a form of flattery, would be a disservice to the credibility & “talent” it takes for one to get an opportunity to create, present and have the design/concept approved for a brand like Wislson & Kith.
I’m just making sure you know that
“I SEE YOU”
and I hope that you support my brand and creative output before plagerizing it, taking credit and celebrating work you stole.
Do Better.
Trashtalk Golf Tees By DOC®
For my latest project, I went back to my design roots in basketball trashtalk and reimagined it through the lens of golf. I’ve always prioritized innovation in design—and sometimes, innovation comes from merging two worlds that don’t traditionally go together. In this case, I saw an opportunity to bring the bold graphic language of basketball into the golf space. So for the first time ever, I’m introducing trashtalk golf tees.
With more people from basketball backgrounds now picking up the game, it felt like the perfect moment to connect both cultures. I used to see golf as having a negative stigma—an exclusive community where I didn’t quite belong. But the game has evolved, and so have I. This collection reflects my own personal journey.

““Growing up, golf always felt exclusive. I never saw myself in it,” says Canalin. “But the game is evolving, and I wanted to create something for people like me—those raised in basketball who now have a passion for golf.””
