Dominic “Dom” Condo is a Philadelphia-based creative whose life and work are grounded in persistence, artistry, and heart. A designer, author, and storyteller with deep Italian roots, Dom has spent more than two decades shaping visual narratives that inform, inspire, and connect. His signature blend of editorial precision and emotional intelligence has made him a sought-after freelance designer and art director across industries.
Dom’s creative journey began in South Philadelphia, where food, family, and storytelling were always at the table. Over the years, his love for design grew into a full-fledged career in graphic design for trade publications, where he brings brand stories to life through intelligent layout, purposeful typography, and clean, compelling visual flow. His portfolio includes journalistic layouts, digital publications, brand kits, catalogs, and print-to-digital production for business use, as well as Photoshop retouching and presentation design.
In 2025, Dom’s exceptional work in editorial design earned him the Folio Magazine Eddie & Ozzie Award for Best Cover Design in the Business-to-Business category, with two covers receiving nominations for design excellence – a testament to his mastery of creative direction and storytelling through imagery.
Through his personal platform, Dom’s Kitchen, he shares another side of his artistry: using food as therapy and storytelling as a path to healing. Following the loss of his wife, Daria, in 2020, Dom found solace in creative expression – blending his passions for cooking, writing, and design into a single thread of resilience. His memoir, Reflections: A Young Widower’s Journey Through Loss, Hope, and Healing, and earlier book, A Little of This and Some of That: Recipes and Memoirs from an Italian-American Food Blogger, both reflect his belief that creativity – like food – nourishes the soul.
Today, Dom continues to bring his artistry to life through freelance projects that balance aesthetic precision with heartfelt storytelling. Whether crafting a cover layout, a brand identity, or a new post for Dom’s Kitchen, he leads with the same values that define his life: creativity, competence, and courage.
