Dustin Leuning | Marketing Director + Web Designer

I am a creative body with an eye for clean and engaging design. I also possess a love for technology and passion for understanding how things work. This blend of art and technology can be seen across the work that I've done. I currently reside in Sioux Falls, South Dakota where I have worked as a marketing leader, digital designer, and front-end web developer for over 18 years.

I am currently the Marketing Director for VIKOR Teleconstruction where I am responsible for overseeing all in-house marketing efforts and branding, graphic design, web development, content creation, and social media.

I also run a photography and design business called Blue Hour Creative. Our goal is to tell our clients' stories with authenticity and to capture timeless beauty. We photograph everything from weddings to families and pride ourselves on the relationships that we've formed through our work.
