Meet Danielle...

I stumbled across the world design in 1999 when I was asked to design a t-shirt for my high school's "art club", I've since found myself on a diverse journey from working as a Literary & Arts Zine editor to Marketing Director for a motorcycle dealership to print specialist/graphics designer for a full service ad agency. Each step of this road has taught me various aspects of design and the questions that arise in the process. Although I have taken classes in Advertising, Communications, Graphic Design, Art and the related required fields, my most valuable lessons have come on-the-job from the great mentors I've had in the industry and in life. Without them, I cannot imagine where I would be today.

I hope you find my portfolio in keeping with your company's needs & desires and look forward to working with you soon! For your reference I have included my resume below:
