Biography
I’m Danae (pronounced DUN-ay), and I have 18+ years of design experience, producing unmatched digital products for startups, scale-ups, and smaller businesses to international clients such as Cambridge Dictionary and Subway.
I'm an experienced digital designer, passionate about developing the disparate threads of branding, user research, strategy, structure planning, prototyping, UI design, development, and testing into elegant, effective products for my clients. I'm also a pretty good illustrator ;)
