Hi, I’m Dani — a multi-interested designer, writer, and creative director kickin’ it in Brooklyn. Currently, I'm a Brand Creative Director at Headspace.

I have over ten years experience working with in-house brand teams and independent clients leading design strategy, brand identity, brand marketing, creative campaigns, art direction, and copy.

I've been a part of the wonderful teams at Oscar Health, Stink Studios NY, Intercom, and Vox Media. Freelance clients include Airbnb, Impossible Foods, Webflow, Gem, Our Place, and more.

I have a BFA in graphic design from RISD, I recently wrote a kids' book, and I highly respect good people and bad puns.

The Gem Bite is a real food multivitamin that's as delicious as it is fun to eat. To get these cuties and their various offshoots ready for shelves across the nation, I led the team on a packaging redesign that highlights the bite's benefit to consumers and cleanly stands out on a crowded shelf.
