About

I'm Danielle, a designer who works around the clock to meet a deadline and demonstrates a learning ability that will have a routine down with consistency. I have a diverse portfolio that shows creative problem solving, which means I will not push a style onto an idea, but push an idea through a style! My work includes print, advertising, brand identity, illustration, interactive media design and anything that I can get my hands on!
