About me
Hello! I’m Danielle, although I prefer to go by Danni.
I graduated from the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire in December 2024, and I’m now beginning my journey as a designer in the real world.
​
Born and raised in Minnesota, I’ve spent most of my time near the Twin Cities with my parents and younger sister. It has always been a goal of mine to try as many art forms as possible. My personal favorite is drawing, but in my spare time I also enjoy making jewelry, painting, crocheting, working with ceramics, video editing, wood burning, welding, sculpting, photography, and more. I also enjoy music, I've played the cello now since 6th grade, and plan to pick up the piano again soon. As a kid I performed in multiple theater shows and dance recitals, now as an adult I stick to video games and reading in my spare time.
​
Growing up, I knew my profession had to involve creativity — which is exactly why I chose graphic design! It’s a versatile field where I get to constantly learn new things, connect with other talented designers, and collaborate to bring people’s ideas to life.
​
When it comes to design, the possibilities are endless.
How exciting! :)
​
I hope we can connect and work together!
Fun facts!
Freshman year of college I hosted a radio show called "Downtime with Danni" at Minnesota State University Moorhead. I'd spend my Tuesday and Thursday mornings in the radio studio playing music/chatting about whatever I felt like!

My healed tattoo! Thanks to Ed, @graveyard.wizard, for the wonderful job and collaboration!

My first tattoo was from a sketch I drew at 16. To the left is a mood board I made featuring some of those sketches, as well as some font ideas for the quote. With the help of my artist, it is one of my favorite projects so far. (yes my favorite movie is Mamma Mia!)
In my spare time, I host a talk show with my best friend. It is called "Two Stupid," and I made our channel art.

I'm allergic to all types of fragrance, which is in almost every product you put on your body. Hence the inspiration for my student exhibition! A fragrance free line of everyday beauty products that are safe for anyone with sensitive skin to use.
