Danielle is a multi-disciplinary creative with a demonstrable interest in research and history, authentic and handmade crafts, graphic and publication design and documentary-style photography. As a creative, she strives to produce work rooted in authenticity, real-stories and human-connection.

Danielle’s work is human-centred – in an oversaturated digital world, she likes to feel that her work provides a more personal and relatable experience to viewers. She's also deeply passionate about the analogue and how these practices can be adapted to fit into a digital landscape.

As a result, timeless and comforting design is at the heart of what she creates, where interactivity and a break from the doomscrolling is not only encouraged but celebrated.

She enjoys appreciating the beauty in the ordinary and highlighting untold narratives through her visual language. Through both research and creative work, she's intrigued by themes that revolve around postcolonial experiences and the transcultural relationship between the East and the West.

For her Final Major Project, Danielle created Nana’s House – an interactive publication which documents the lives of the minority Indo-Portuguese communities of Mumbai through interviews, documentary photography, and other visual elements.

This is an interactive publication that pays homage to the many visits to my grandparents’ house over the years. Featuring photography, interviews and other visual elements, this piece of work documents and celebrates the culture and lives of the minority Indo-Portuguese communities of Mumbai, India, with a special focus on the beloved suburb of Bandra – a place I hold close to my heart as it’s where my grandparents live.

This book celebrates the ordinary lives of the older generation in Bandra. They share stories of everyday life and perhaps encourage us to live more simply, to slow down and enjoy life in the way we want to.

Looking forward, I'm eager to further utilise my creative abilities in an environment and job role that will value authentic storytelling and a creative visual language.
