Hi there, I'm Danella, a California native addicted to sunlight and creating delightful things. I'm drawn to problems without obvious answers and work to untangle them through careful research and iteration.

I believe strong ideas should understand the heart of being human, spark imagination, and make people think. I thrive in collaborative spaces filled with curiously creative minds and strive to transform everyday interactions into moments that feel alive.

Alongside my design explorations, I dabble in painting plein air, composing soul-crushing guitar music, and slowly chipping away at frozen dessert.
