We’re looking forward to introducing you to Destiny Gant. Check out our conversation below.
Good morning Destiny, we’re so happy to have you here with us and we’d love to explore your story and how you think about life and legacy and so much more. So let’s start with a question we often ask: What are you being called to do now, that you may have been afraid of before?
Right now, I’m being called into a level of boldness, spiritual authority, and leadership that I used to tiptoe around. For a long time, I tried to make myself smaller so other people could feel comfortable. I minimized my voice, hid parts of my gifting, and downplayed the weight of the vision God gave me. But this season won’t allow that anymore.
I sense God pulling me into a season that requires me to walk in the fullness of my God-given dominion. Which challenges me to have the kind of presence that’s unapologetic, rooted in conviction, and willing to be seen. Even if it means being misunderstood. Even if it feels “extra” or “too much” for some. Even if stepping into that authority challenges the narratives people have had about me.
This season is about walking fully in who I am, not who I thought I needed to be to keep other people happy. It’s about leading with clarity, influence, and a depth of wisdom that comes from both experience and calling. And honestly? I’m learning not to be afraid of that anymore.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m Destiny, a brand strategist and designer who helps founders, creatives, and organizations articulate their vision with clarity, confidence, and intention. My work sits at the intersection of strategy, storytelling, and elevated visual identity—taking big, meaningful ideas and translating them into brands that feel both deeply authentic and undeniably memorable.
What makes my approach unique is that I don’t just design for aesthetics; I design for alignment. I’m intentional about drawing out the essence of who my clients are and who they’re becoming, then building brands that reflect that truth with boldness. My background spans community-centered work, education, and creative leadership, so I understand how to bridge impact, design, and strategy in a way that feels human and powerful.
Right now, I’m stepping deeper into thought leadership—sharing more of my voice, expanding my work, and embracing the spiritual calling behind what I do. I believe branding isn’t just about visuals; it’s about identity, transformation, and showing up in the world as the fullest expression of who you’re called to be. That’s the passion I bring into every project, and that’s the heart behind my brand.
Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. What’s a moment that really shaped how you see the world?
A moment that truly shaped how I see the world happened in my early twenties, when I decided I wanted to travel and ended up pursuing a teaching opportunity in South Korea. The process to get there was intense—layers of paperwork, interviews, background checks, waiting periods, and so many moments where it looked like the whole thing was going to fall apart. But I kept pushing and kept doing the work even when the outcome felt uncertain.
When it finally came together and I found myself living out a dream I once thought was out of reach, it changed me. It showed me that I was capable of far more than I had ever given myself credit for. That when I truly want something—and when I’m willing to commit, stay disciplined, and keep moving forward—I can make it happen, even through obstacles. In the end I returned home early, but the experience was rich with so many profound lessons that I could never regret it.
Over the years, that experience has become a reference point for me. A reminder that big visions require a different version of you: more faith, more resilience, more strategy, and a willingness to keep going when the “no’s” start stacking up. It taught me that grit and determination aren’t the whole equation for a God-level vision, but they are the fuel that gets you through the moments when the path isn’t clear and the doors feel closed. That lesson still shapes how I navigate my life, my work, and my purpose today.
What did suffering teach you that success never could?
Suffering taught me things success never could. It taught me humility—real humility, the kind that reminds you you’re not the one holding everything together. It taught me how to trust God in circumstances that made no sense, when nothing looked like what He promised and all I had was faith to stand on. Those seasons stripped away the illusion of control and reminded me that God has the final say, always.
I learned that people can fail you, systems can fail you, you can fail you—but God doesn’t. He is steady, faithful, and intentional. Suffering showed me that God cares and is fully engaged with what’s happening in my life, it showed me how He can use suffering to develop people, and it showed me how God can turn suffering around for my good and redeem anyone in any situation, no matter how impossible it looks.
Those valleys built my backbone. They taught me endurance, discernment, and dependence. Success affirms you—but suffering forms you. And the person I’ve become because of those seasons is someone success alone could have never shaped.
Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. What truths are so foundational in your life that you rarely articulate them?
One of the truths that’s so foundational in my life that I rarely say out loud is this: God designed every person with the capacity to do good works. Each of us has something unique and powerful that He placed in us that equips us to do meaningful work—work that serves others, shifts culture, and builds lasting legacies.
Another truth I hold is that a kingdom mindset is akin to a business mindset. People often act like God and business don’t belong in the same conversation, but in my lived experience they go together real bad. In fact, the kingdom of heaven is the perfect system to model your business after. Encoded in this system are the keys to divine success. It’s basically the blueprint for a successful, sustainable business.
And because of that, I believe every brand should be impact-driven at its core. Impact shouldn’t be an afterthought or a marketing angle; it should be embedded into the business model from day one. When you build with impact in mind, you’re not just building something profitable—you’re building something purposeful. In my opinion, that’s one of the greatest competitive advantages any business can have.
Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: What will you regret not doing?
I will never regret learning to fully trust my own voice—the one God gave me. For so long, I second-guessed myself, deferred to other people’s opinions, or tried to shape my voice into something more palatable. But the older I get, the more I realize that my voice is part of my assignment. My perspective, my discernment, my creativity, my way of seeing the world—none of that is random.
I would regret leaving this earth without honoring that voice, without using it boldly, and without allowing it to carry the weight and authority God placed in it. I don’t want to look back and realize I muted myself at the exact moments I was supposed to speak, lead, create, or shift something.
