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.

Visionary is a typeface designed for the American Visionary Art Museum located in Baltimore, Maryland. AVAM collects works by artists with an innate creative vision and no formal artistic training, which gives the museum a vibrant, alive, and eclectic atmosphere. I channeled AVAM’s vibe into a typeface by using jaunty gesticulated forms, a chunky weight, and slanted edges that make the letters feel in conversation with each other — much like the work in the museum.
