my superpowers
( i’m pretty good at this kind of thing )
special events
a theme. a date. a moodboard. and voilá, you have a whole slew of materials for the big day.
ex- & internal reports
a report is only good if folks read it and use it. i love taking ‘dull’ material and figuring out new ways to make it accessible and engaging
glow ups
websites, socials, logos, and brand standards need fresh eyes sometimes. i don’t change who you are, i just help you present your best self.
compliments
( it sounds better coming from other people )
folks i’ve worked for
I passed on a good word and accidentally called you ‘exceedingly competent’ twice (I mean accidentally twice not accidentally competent) -Amanda
Danielle’s positivity is only rivaled by the efficacy with which she gets things done. -Chris
She mentors by encouraging them to building upon thier strengths, gently correcting when improvements are needed, and consistently giving proper recognition whenever it is due. -I-Wei
folks i’ve worked with
She’s an efficient and effective ray of suneshine who always gets the job done. -Tess
She is creative and has an excellent sense of the right tone for any room she steps into while still being Dani. -Alyssa
Give her an endpoint and she will always find a way to make it happen under budget and better than planned. -Rosie
