Hey! I’m Danae, lead designer and creative problem solver

On a Mission

Based in the heart of Los Angeles’ creative scene, I partner with values-driven organizations to create impactful visual identities and project strategy. With more than ten years of creative experience, I’m on a mission to use design for good.

Creative Services

  • Brand Identity

    I craft visual love languages for your brand. More than just a logo, I can build a complete visual system—colors, fonts, imagery—that speaks volumes about who you are. Think of it as your brand's perfectly kerned personality.

  • Design Production

    From presentations to print pieces, I design communication materials that connect. I bridge the digital and physical, ensuring your message lands perfectly, whether it's on a screen or in someone's hands.

  • Illustration

    Need to tell your story visually? I create custom illustrations, from one-off art pieces to full icon sets, that add personality and clarity. Because sometimes, a picture really is worth a thousand words (and way less likely to have a typo).
