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.

Inside Intercom needed an update in order to grow at the same rate as it’s audience. I worked with the Content team to turn the blog into a publication, with a design that allows for a customizable content structure (not just chronological posts), individual sections for each audience segment, articles with/without illustration, and a defined personality within the Intercom brand. I'm also responsible for commissioning and art directing amazing illustrators and photographers to bring the author's words to life. Read more here.
