Blooming in the creative field for 16+ years, with 11+ as a full-time creative entrepreneur, I created my own dream job (& built my own dream life!) designing brands, websites, and graphics that are works of art. I’m a mystic-thinker; I see the magic and light in people and what they do, make, and sell. It’s a gift and a practice, a lifestyle and a blessing.

I wouldn’t have it any other way! My multimedia art spans from coast to coast, across the oceans, and alllll over the world wide web.

I have projects featured with:

  • “Dorey has been such an incredible creative asset to The Gauge Collective — her talent for design and branding is truly unmet. She has wow'd every client who has gotten to work with her and we truly value all of the input and professionalism she has brought to the team. I highly suggest utilizing Dorey when it comes to design, branding, and photography!”

    Teddy Heidt, Founder of The Gauge Collective, Chicago, IL

  • "Check out @theinvicto. Dorey did an amazing job with all of our branding including our brand colors, logo, and packaging. She’s an amazing artist and designer. Highly recommend for entrepreneurs that need a partner to work closely with as you develop your brand."

    Franklin Buchanan, Owner & Co-Founder of Invicto, Naf Naf Grill, & Venture Kitchen, Chicagoland, IL

  • "Dorey is a total lifesaver! I needed a complete website makeover and I was frustrated with how long the process had been taking (me attempting to piece things together myself with various vendors). She understood my vision immediately and crafted an absolutely gorgeous site that feels completely ‘me’ and clearly tells prospective clients who I am and what my business is all about! Working together was seamless and FUN. I'm now easily attracting new clients across the globe who align with my energy. Your website is the first element that someone sees – Don't waste your time on anyone but the best. Hire Dorey Kronick!"

    Heather Vox, Vocal Teacher & Singer Songwriter, San Francisco, CA

  • “Dorey is responsive, curious, and absurdly talented. Most importantly, she is patient! She doesn't rush the consultation process. She believes in making sure she has a grasp on the concept. She will hold you accountable to the big questions and provides more examples than you could ask for. Once you've picked a direction, she sets intentional dates to check-in and in my experience, completes the project before the due date to allow time for feedback and fine tuning. I've recommended her to colleagues, friends, and anyone under the sun looking to make something to put out into the world. All of them have come away impressed. If you found her, hire her. She’s designed 3 of our websites, 2 of our logos, AND our branding.”

    Dr. Fabrice Lubin, Owner & Psychologist of For Real Therapy & For Real Spaces, Chicago, IL

  • "I hired Dorey to revamp my website for my wedding videography business, Seafoam Films, and not only was she absolutely wonderful to work with, she knocked the website design out of the park!! I always feel like I am so bad at being able to communicate a vision, and it was like Dorey reached right into my brain and pulled it out perfectly! She asked the right questions and gave me the space to figure out what I wanted. She was so incredibly kind and generous with her time and talent, she is a true artist and professional! I knew I could trust in her skills, and I am so so glad that I did. My new website is beyond my wildest dreams and just makes me so so happy every time I look at it!! Thank you Dorey for making my dreams come true and being so incredible to work with!!!"

    Shannon Cecil, Owner of Seafoam Films, Santa Cruz, CA

  • “Dorey is absolutely incredible to work with! I have worked with her on several different occasions for all different types of projects and she never ceases to amaze me. She puts her all into everything she does and makes our work together fun and easy! Her designs are creative and so beautiful. Everyone who sees her work is always incredibly impressed. If you are looking for any sort of design or photography work – you must use Dorey!!! We love her so much.”

    Heidi Burns Hilton, Founder of Project Happy Hearts, Los Angeles, CA

  • "Dorey’s art and design is an integral part of our package development process, delivering uniquely creative work. Preparations for customer events are significantly easier due to her contributions. Balancing a deep understanding of our business with her artistic flair, Dorey consistently generates on-brand designs that resonate with our customers. It would be difficult to support our key accounts without her and we highly recommend her service."

    Steve Manne, Director of New Product Development at Silgan Containers, Oconomowoc, WI

  • "Style. Humor. Freshness. Brightness. And a certain Joie de Vivre. Those are the words I often used to describe Dorey's design work — and, if I am being thorough — her personality. When we were looking for a designer to help take our design communication to the next level, there was simply no competition to Dorey's work after weeks of interviews. She has a brilliant way of telling a story — with a very specific time and place — with her work. She was easy, pleasant, and interested in hearing feedback on her craft. There were several times we had some very specific, but completely unintelligible ideas that we needed her to incapsulate, and she was always able to read between the lines to deliver something truly fresh and innovative. I loved working with Dorey and look forward to crossing paths with her again in the future."

    Mike Ganino, Operating Partner of Protein Bar Restaurants, Chicago, IL

  • “Dorey is a dream to work with. Not only did she get me in under an hour of chatting on the phone, but she fully grasped my vision and executed it flawlessly. She brought my logo to life and I can’t thank her enough. Her level of communication, skill, and attention to detail is superb. She’s a badass. Thank you a million times. Xoxo”

    Simone Novak, Founder of Culinaire Affair, Austin, TX

  • “I have such a greater appreciation for what goes into developing a brand: something that can grow with time and embodies a larger vision. It takes time!!! Back and forth, scheming, thinking, changing my mind, adding texture, hand drawn and unique graphics — this was all carefully curated by a very talented graphic designer — Dorey Kronick — and I couldn’t have done it without her help!!!!!”

    Shannon Juliana, Founder of Out West Design Co., Santa Cruz, CA

  • "It has been a blast and pleasure working with Dorey regularly for the last several years! We work with her on a variety of graphic design projects, mostly digital flyers and invitations but also have partnered on photography projects, logo design, and even creating some fun gifs — all an integral part of our library and marketing efforts. She is open-minded, a true artist, organized, and all while understanding the context of how this work applies to our business."

    Matt Nguyen, Showroom Experience Manager of Brizo Chicago, Chicago, IL

  • “Dorey is a pro! She is kind, quick, and extremely detailed in everything she does. I highly recommend her for all of your website, design, and photography needs.”

    Rachel Fannan, Singer, Songwriter, Musician, Portland, OR

  • "Dorey designed the logos and website for Henry J. Kaiser Center for the Arts, and was fabulous to work with. She's been flexible with moving timelines and expectations, ready to take on unexpected requests. Her eye for design and anticipation of needs made getting the job done easy! Thank you Dorey, for all of your time spent working with us."

    Dru Cowan, Arts & Community Development Manager of Henry J. Kaiser Center for the Arts, Oakland, CA

  • "I came to Dorey with nothing but an old Squarespace site and a thousand different ideas for my midlife crisis-fueled rebrand. Dorey got all my assets in working order and built me a FREAKING BEAUTIFUL new portfolio site that I’m just loving. She was patient, communicative, punctual, and has genuinely good taste! We sat together on a video call where she taught me how to use the backend of my new website while sipped red wine out of a coffee cup and vaped. You’re a creative’s creative, Dorey, and I promise I’ll PROTEST outside Mark Zuckerberg’s residence until they make your business page 20% larger than everyone else’s. It’s a sure-fire marketing tactic! But for real, thanks for everything!”

    Jeremy Glass, Freelance Copywriter, Maine, USA

  • "Working with Dorey on my brand redesign was a great experience. Whether it's logos, business cards, flyers, brochures, icons, photos, or web design, Dorey can help. Not only that, but she's very knowledgeable about her field and is able to provide an array of useful online and print resources that helped me get the most out of our work together. I highly recommend her for your next brand redesign or promotional campaign!"

    Adam Robbert, Founder of Pacific Editing & The Side View, San Francisco, CA

  • "Dorey is a bright star who really loves to create and refine both beautiful and functional designs. I had the pleasure to work along side Dorey on many photoshoots for in-store and product imagery, as well as strategizing their successful integration into larger project management flow. She has a great eye and passion for the craft of bringing energy and life to illustration. I would also recommend Dorey for any organization that embraces the notion of individual contribution, as she was always a reliable source for a strong well thought-out perspective that arrives with a professional collaborative cheer."

    Phil Fox, Executive Chef of Protein Bar Restaurants, Chicago, IL

  • "Dorey is a pleasure to work with! The entire process of designing my new business logo was easy and fun. The final result was exactly what I was looking for and envisioned."

    Lindsay Downs, Founder of The 3 Brushes, Gaithersburg, MD

  • “Dorey made all of our website dreams come true, and far exceeded any expectations we had. She is lovely and wonderful to work with in every way. An incredible talent and designer!”

    Danielle Moore, Founder of Nido Kids, Austin, TX

  • "Simply put, Dorey is one of the best designers I've worked with! I have utilized the professional, reliable, and creative design services of Dorey for some of my biggest projects that have gone to market, including multiple book cover designs, event invitations, t-shirts, beanies, and an array of other projects. I have worked with a lot of designers over the years, but I have been extremely impressed with how professional, patient, and creative Dorey has been on many of our projects. Because of her wonderful work and attributes, Dorey will continue to be my go-to designer. I highly recommend her work!"
