Hello
I’m Darryl Jonckheere (he/him), a Toronto-based Creative & Design Lead specializing in brand stewardship, design governance, and integrated communications. I work across product, digital, experiential, and traditional media, helping organizations build stronger brands and forge more meaningful connections with their audiences.
I’ve always gravitated toward the space between disciplines—where strategy, design, technology, and storytelling meet. That multidisciplinary perspective lets me move fluidly from big-picture thinking to hands-on execution, helping teams turn ideas into clear, effective creative outcomes.
My modus operandi is to keep learning, think sideways, embrace change, and challenge assumptions.
I’m a strong believer in the power of interdisciplinary collaboration and am energized by people who value strategic communication, learn from the past, and leverage new tools and technologies to expand creative possibilities.
I’ve worked with global brands, government agencies, media organizations, financial institutions, healthcare providers, and non-profits.

I collect and listen to vintage vinyl. I love running, hiking, free weights, and spend a lot of time on two wheels ⟶ cycling ~200 km/week, riding dirt and enduro, and
hitting the
track. I’ve logged over
47,000 kms (and counting ☺) on my trusty old ZX-10R… and lately, I’ve become an avid 🌱 gardener.
Fun Fact
I completed the Vancouver Grouse Grind in 58 minutes and the Blackcomb Mountain Ascent Trail in 2 hours and 47 minutes.
