Dory Designs was inspired by my nickname, Dory. Back in kindergarten, my name, Duranne,
was a bit tricky for my caretakers to pronounce, so it was shortened to Dory-anne, and eventually to Dory
—not because of any memory issues, I assure you!
As you may have guessed, I have a deep love for the ocean. It sustains life on our planet and its vast, mysterious depths remind us that there's always more to explore and learn. This sense of endless discovery is something I bring into my work. At Dory Designs, I believe in navigating new waters of opportunity and spreading joy through creative, unique designs that have a friendly, light-hearted touch.
No matter what challenges arise, I am committed to pushing through and completing each project with professionalism!
My name is Duranne Eaton, and ilive in Durban South africa as a digital designer. From a young age, I have always possessed a creative mind, constantly drawing and doodling wherever I could. I was fortunate to have a tremendous support system from my parents, who encouraged me to pursue my dreams, no matter how ambitious they seemed, even if it was aspiring to be the best clown in a circus act. I have always had a profound love for nature, its animals, and the ocean. Nature is the primary inspiration for my artwork, where I strive to capture its beauty, its struggles, its magnificence, and its challenges. My goal is to change the world and influence the way people think through simple illustrations. I am confident in my ability to achieve this vision.
