About me
Hi there, I’m Dani, an artist, surface designer, mum of two and creative entrepreneur.
My love of art and colour began in childhood, with a constant desire to bring beauty into everything I create. After studying business at university, I spent several years working in the corporate world before my creative spirit led me to freelance design. During this time, I crafted brands, marketing materials and packaging for companies and female entrepreneurs who deeply inspired me.
Now based in County Mayo, Ireland, I draw endless inspiration from the natural landscape that surrounds me. My work centres on bold, vibrant prints designed to bring joy and creativity into everyday life. I believe art has the power to transform the ordinary into something truly special.
Sharing my love of art & design is an important part of my practice. Alongside my studio work, I deliver workshops and creative projects, teaching and collaborating with others while connecting art, education and community.
I hope my work offers a glimpse into my creative journey. If you’d like to collaborate, commission bespoke designs or join one of my workshops, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s bring colour and creativity into your world.

“Dani, in addition to being competent and creative, has a talent that I regard as unique and valuable in creative professionals: the ability to relate and be open to co-creation. Many creative professionals lack business acumen and are driven by ego, but I could always rely on Dani's creativity and ease in relationships, as she is always open to conversation and diverse points of view.”
— Luiz Fernando marca, Entrepreneur
“Daniela is a highly skilled designer. She took charge of the complete artistic composition of my brand, Delicafé, and I am extremely pleased with the outcome. I can't recommend her work enough. She is really competent and dedicated.”
— Jeanny Bavaresco, Delicafé
“I had such a great experience with this being my first time. Dani completely got the style we were aiming to achieve and executed the final product perfectly! I wasn’t sure what to expect as I’m typically an extremely picky person, but she paid attention to the details and delivered above and beyond what I expected!”
— Sarah from What Little Wonder
“Dani is so easy to work with & I appreciated that she showed me lots of sneak peeks when creating my design. I gave her a photo of the flowers in my garden and she did such an amazing job recreating them onto print by freehand painting! I love her style & she is such a dream to work with!”
