Destiny Arts

Intro

Destiny Arts, a non profit based in Oakland, SF, approached me directly to redevelop their existing dotcom from the ground up. Designs were provided via Sketch and Zeplin and through regular comms, I was able to work remotely to complete this build on time and within budget.

Background

Their story is really amazing, in 1988, two martial artists opened a small storefront dojo on San Pablo Avenue in North Oakland, envisioned as a safe space where young people could learn and grow. A few years later, these young visionaries were joined by a professional dancer with a drive to create socially engaged dance theater. What they discovered is that movement, storytelling, and collaborative creative process could transform young people’s lives in profound ways. Destiny Arts Center was born.

To this day their founders Kate Hobbs, Anthony Daniels and Sarah Crowell, continue to develop peaceful, powerful and creative young people through a unique combination of self-defense training and movement arts practice. They are committed to reaching young people with the least access to high quality arts education, and the movement arts practices we teach reflect the cultural diversity of the communities we serve. The Destiny community is socio-economically, racially and culturally diverse, and deeply committed to our values of welcome, inclusion and safety.
