Get To Know Me

Hi, I'm Danielle

I design things — sometimes serene, sometimes messy, but always with care.

I care a lot about feelings.
That’s probably why I keep circling back to ideas on apologies and existence.

I’ve run student teams and stayed up way too late fixing Figma layers no one else would notice.

I like design that holds space for people — to feel, to pause, to not have it all figured out.

This site is a bit of a mess.
A scrapbook of the things I’ve made, felt, and am still figuring out.

Thanks for stopping by.

What I Care About

“I want to be known for the way I made people feel — not just what I made.”

That’s really it.
That’s what guides how I design, lead, speak, and show up.

Collector

Of moments, conversations, events, questions, and reflections.

I’ve been to design camps, leadership programmes, policy forums, and more debate competitions than I planned for.

I don’t remember every detail — but I always come back with something:
A question I hadn’t considered. A perspective that shifted mine. A reminder of why I care about what I do.

It’s not about the name of the event.
It’s the way it made me think, or who I got to listen to.

These experiences shaped how I work — and who I try to be when I show up.

Things I Want to Make

Spaces where people feel less alone.
Moments that make someone smile.
Tools that help someone say what they couldn’t before, and the space to be heard without needing to explain themselves.
Experiences that remind people they are allowed to feel — fully, messily, without needing to apologise for it.

A sense of, “Someone thought of me here.”

And if I can do that — even just once — that’s enough for me to keep going.
