About me

I’m Daniela – a multidisciplinary designer, passionate daydreamer, and creative problem-solver currently based in Portland, Oregon.

My approach

As a designer, I strive to produce forward-looking, expressive work. I have experience designing everything from brand identities to digital products, websites, animations, and more. My approach is driven by curiosity, and I love the process of taking an idea or business goal, stretching and researching its possibilities, and then bringing to life through tangible, well-documented, and intentional design.

I believe the best work delivers intentional contrasts: familiar yet unique, detailed yet simple, playful yet refined.

Etc.

When I’m not busy Designing™, you can find me picking out my next library book, sketching by the window at my favorite coffee shop, dabbling in a triathlon, or taking an evening stroll with my two beloved dogs (Clover, age 7 and Robin, age 2).
