hey, I’m Danielle

I’m a multi-disciplinary UX designer energized by simplifying complex experiences for humans. In an increasingly digital world, I’m drawn to spaces where analog meets digital—leveraging emerging technologies like AI to create experiences that feel more natural, intuitive, and human.
