Hi, I’m David Port, founder of Port Design Company (PDC). With over a decade of experience in sports branding, I bring a unique athlete-driven perspective to every project. As a former Division I baseball player at Appalachian State, I’ve lived the passion and dedication it takes to build strong fan connections—and I apply that same mindset to designing impactful brand identities.

My journey started at Appalachian State, where I majored in Graphic Arts and Imaging Technology before earning a Master’s in Educational Media with a focus on Media Production. Since then, I’ve worked with some of the biggest names in collegiate sports, including LSU, Alabama, Vanderbilt, Virginia, Oregon State, and Georgia Tech to highlight a few. I currently work as the Creative Director at Learfield specializing in branding initiatives.

My love for branding began when I designed my college team’s jersey during my senior year. That moment sparked a passion for creating memorable brands, and today, I specialize in logo design, brand strategy, and helping sports organizations elevate their presence.

At PDC, I’m committed to delivering excellence and creativity that not only enhances your brand but also strengthens your connection with fans. From brand audits to logo design and strategy development, I’m here to help you stand out.
