Who Am I?
My name is Denny Kurien, and I'm a branding & design consultant based in Toronto. I am also the Creative Director & Co-Founder of Rayvn Design.
What Do I Do?
I do branding, design, and marketing for experts and professional service firms that get paid for their thinking. For 20 years, I've been helping businesses differentiate themselves from their competition, and attract their ideal customers. I help these businesses look good, be more valuable to more people, and sell their services at higher margins.
How can I help you?
If you are an expert or professional service firm, we will help you identify what makes your business extraordinary. We will then craft a premium brand for your business, and put together an organic marketing plan that you can execute to bring in high-paying clients. Yes, that means we will work with you on your branding & marketing strategy, logo, website, social media content strategy, and marketing funnel all set to go.
Here are the clients who we've worked with to achieve tremendous results.
AUTHOR, SPEAKER, & GLOBAL BRAND GURU
“First, I’ll share a confession… After a decade as an advertising creative director leading some of the world’s coolest brands, I’m hard to impress. I've worked with numerous designers & branding experts in the past who failed to deliver what they promised. Yet working with Denny and the Rayvn team has been an absolute delight. Denny is an attentive listener, fiercely responsive, and savvy with fickle digital marketing trends. Our teams worked closely to transform ideas into a gorgeous portfolio of images and digital content, for social media and presentations. We're thrilled with the results!”.

ABOUT ME
I've been doing branding & design for the last 20 years. I've worked with iconic brands like Coca-Cola, Sony, Marriott, and Molson-Coors. Yet to this day, I get the most pleasure from empowering small service-based business owners to create extraordinary brands, and attract clients they love. Because I believe small businesses can achieve mighty things, when they have the courage to be brave, stand out, and be rewarded personally & financially for it.
Hi, I'm Denny, and I'm the creative director & co-founder of Rayvn, a multi-disciplinary design consultancy that does strategy, branding, graphics & interior design, and digital & social media marketing.
I have also taught as a Graphic Design professor at Humber College, and served on the panel of judges & mentors for the RGD (Registered Graphic Designers Association).
One thing that teaching has taught me is that it's all about those light-bulb moments. When you teach a student (or a client) something that they didn't know previ0usly, you add more value in what you do than just the services and deliverables you provide. There's an old saying, “If you give a person a fish, you feed them for a day. If you teach a person to fish, you feed them for a lifetime." And those are the kind of clients I want to work with. Clients who have an insatiable appetite to better themselves, and create a business that will be personally & financially rewarding for years to come.
