Dre Dooley's 2025 Recap Reel
Just like that, 2025 is over. The year taught me a lot personally, professionally, and creatively. It reinforced the importance of staying inspired while navigating the ebbs and flows of a creative industry that’s being reshaped daily. I learned new skills, refined old ones, and adapted.
Throughout the year, I worked across graphic design, logo development and visual identity, print, custom illustration, copywriting, videography and editing (short- and long-form), photography and photo manipulation, creative consulting, and web design and development. I collaborated with businesses both large and small, while continuing to design and sell apparel and artwork on DooleyMade.com, fulfilling a total of 86 online orders and more customs than I can count. 86 online doesn’t sound like a lot, but I’m proud of those 86 orders. (Send me your apparel projects too.)
I also dove deeper into the sports creative community and sports journalism, covering more than 30 sporting events, while building the infrastructure for DopeTexasSports.com and managing its digital and social media presence across YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.
I wrote articles and posts and produced short- and long-form content highlighting the athletes, coaches, and programs shaping the Texas sports landscape. That work generated more than 3 million organic views across platforms and over 10,000 watch hours on YouTube (all centrally located on DopeTexasSports.com). I worked with athletic programs, schools, and districts to help tell their stories.
Now 2026 is here. I’m looking to build with people who want to create dope things and put them into the world. Whatever the creative vision or goal, we can figure out solutions together. Corporations, small organizations, entrepreneurs, and individuals, send me your projects and contracts! Reach out when you have ideas. If you need creative help, give me a holler.
