About
Canyon Road is my (Keith Durbin) personal portfolio of work.
LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/keithdurbin/
I’m a Design Director who brings bold brands to life through intentional, insight-driven design. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with world-class companies like Amazon, REI, Verizon, Land Rover, Sephora, Marriott, Pearl Izumi, Thule, Vans, and many more. I specialize in translating complexity into clarity through a blend of strategy, storytelling, and creative craftsmanship.
My expertise spans graphic design, physical product and packaging design, industrial design, trade show displays, print management, material discovery, and creative direction. Whether I’m designing a gift card you’ll find at Walmart or the eye-catching NHRA drag racing wraps, I bring the same focus and passion to every detail. I even had the honor of serving as the Art Director for Denver Broncos and Mile High Sports Magazines.
I lead with quiet confidence, clear intent, and an unwavering commitment to design excellence. I believe form follows function—and that strategic, sensible thinking is the foundation of great design. This approach has allowed me to build a body of work that’s not only diverse and impactful but deeply meaningful to me.
I’m inspired by mid-century modern design, vintage camping equipment, and the outdoors. And even with years of experience, I still approach each project like it’s my first: with passion, care, and a whole lot of imagination. I’m driven by depth over noise and vision over volume. My passion for design has led to rich collaborations that continue to sharpen my craft and deepen my purpose.
