Hi There, I’m Daniel.

I’m an American and South African designer pursuing my dreams in the vibrant city of Seattle. Taking the leap to move across the world was a risk I embraced, driven by the desire to seize incredible job opportunities and foster my growth in graphic design.

My approach to design transcends conventional boundaries, allowing my creativity to flourish. I’m dedicated to learning new techniques and staying ahead of industry trends to deliver exceptional work. Collaboration is key for me; I see my teammates not just as pixels, but as real people. It’s important that everyone I work with feels empowered and benefits from our projects together.

As someone who is hearing impaired, I’ve learned to lip-read, speak, and communicate effectively with hearing aids. I believe the real limitation lies in a negative mindset. This perspective helps me think outside the box and communicate in unique ways.

With over eight years of experience in graphic and digital design, as well as photography, I’ve collaborated with numerous brands and clients. I previously worked at Delightful Communications, where I provided design support to the marketing and creative studio teams. I also worked with high end brand identity and provide digital and print design templates to help promote their brand identity and marketing strategies by providing the solutions through my design works.

In addition to my full-time work, I enjoy freelance graphic design projects when time permits. I’m especially drawn to opportunities that combine photography and graphic or digital design, as they allow me to ensure each project be successful and achieves its potential.

When I’m not immersed in design, I love exploring the world with my Nikon camera, capturing its beauty. I also enjoy doodling geometric artwork in my sketchbook and embarking on adventures around Seattle.

To me, graphic design is like sign language for a brand—it’s about crafting powerful visual communication that resonates with the audience. My goal is to transform a brand’s vision into a unique and authentic visual experience, bringing ideas to life in captivating ways. By focusing on the design trends in the industry, I create designs that not only inform but also inspire emotional connections. Explore my portfolio to see how I can help your brand tell its story.
