Danielle McDougall

Art Director

based in Detroit, MI

I was once called a fearless sponge.

Hello! My name is Danielle. I’m always learning, always creating and always up for a good challenge.

I thrive on projects that challenge me to think beyond the obvious, push boundaries, and craft thoughtful design solutions—ones that create unique experiences or tell compelling stories. I flourish in environments that foster curiosity and innovation.

My goal is always to leave a lasting impression, whether it's big or small. I’ve been told I’m a pretty memorable person, so I must be doing something right.


I’d love to chat and make some magic together 🪄
