Hey there, I’m Daniel, a graphic designer living in Toronto, and an Industrial Design student at OCAD University.

Over the past decade, I have worked as a Creative Director and Graphic Designer for various organizations. My experiences have allowed me to engage in diverse projects, including commercials, events, UI/UX design, and rebranding efforts.

Currently, I am studying Industrial Design, focusing on how to blend form and function effectively. My aim is to enhance my ability to create user-centered products that are both visually appealing and easy to navigate. Throughout my studies, I remain active as a freelance designer, collaborating with organizations to define their brand identity, strategize communications, and develop impactful visual solutions, including UX/UI and web projects.
