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.

Living With: is a project I founded in 2013 that empowers people working on their mental health to be confident in themselves and the way their brain works. Shirts are a powerful canvas for outwardly showing support, pride, and community. The decision of what shirt to wear on any given day is an active, engaged, and self-aware choice that the wearer makes. When applied to mental health, shirts become a small way to positively affect one’s mindset. As the company grew up, we partnered with Active Minds, to whom $2 of every shirt sold is donated.

Read more about it on Slate, PSFK, Design Milk, and Paste Magazine, or delve deeper into the idea process here.
