About
I’m Daniel,
a writer, artist, thinker, and maker.
A listener who likes to lean into the chaos and pick up the music.
“Always enjoy my convos with Dan. He comes well-prepared.”
In my dream scenario
I help you recognize the essential ideas and patterns already resonating in your work, then turn them into language, structures, and projects you can use.
For more than 15 years, I’ve taught writing, built websites, shaped brands and campaigns, and made independent creative work of my own alongside some of the coolest people in the cosmos.
I’m interested in the moment a project begins to sound like itself: when it rings true to the people making it and starts attracting the people it’s meant to reach.
For four years, as audience engagement coordinator at The Nightlight Cinema, Akron’s independent nonprofit cinema, I introduced films to live audiences and helped the cinema speak to people across its website and digital channels.
I help turn a crowded project into a few decisions you can actually use.
As a founding artist at Magic Mood Records, I’ve learned how music, language, and images become one recognizable world. That includes one half of Bliss Nova, both halves of Shores of Echo, music featured on Apple TV’s Platonic and Cartoon Network’s Toonami and Rick and Morty, and half a dozen other things still orbiting.
