I’m a design director with 20 years experience collaborating, strategizing, designing, and building with global brands, small businesses, grassroots organizers, and everybody in between.
What I do
I’m a design player-coach with a passion for solving complex problems with people who want to leave things better than they started.
You can hire me for website redesigns, getting unstuck with your digital strategy, solving your user experience puzzles, bringing a human focus back into your digital product design, and all types of illustration.
I believe that what we can build together is bigger and more joyful than the sum of our parts.
Dana was a HUGE help in helping me hone in on my vision for my website. She was able to distill my message and translate it for my ideal audience. I was so surprised and pleased that she was able to translate the nuances of what I had imagined for the aesthetic for my site. I honestly couldn’t be happier with the finished product. As a rookie with web design, I also appreciated Dana’s scaffolded, patient, and collaborative approach to the whole process. Can’t recommend working with her enough!
During the workshop, the openness really allowed all of us to jump in with thoughts and feedback and have a great discussion. Dana was a great facilitator!
