About Me

Who I Am

I like to bring together things that typically aren’t seen with one another. I find something unique in showing the beautiful differences in individual patterns and pieces when having them work side by side. I follow this sentiment in both my art and design as well as my life. I enjoy things like drawing, painting, and reading, but then I also enjoy belly dancing, playing video games, and writing short stories. I believe people should be able to unironically love all the things they enjoy doing with passion, and celebrate their eclecticness. My work is often bright and bold; I hardly believe in being muted. Each piece is trying to make a statement, and I believe that statement needs to be recognized, understood, and punctuated to its fullest potential. But just as I am an eclectic make of interests, talents, and hobbies, my work reflects a variety of mediums of print, sketch, and digital. My hope is to design work that has bold personality, but ideal functionality.

Dani's Doodles

​I doodle and draw a lot. The margins of my notebooks are completely full. My sketchbooks are filled with random drawings and sketches which never have actually been used for something. Despite these drawings and doodles never seeing the light, they are a large part of who I am as a designer. I felt it necessary to share a glimpse of what these doodles are.
