About

I’m Daniel (aka Dani), an experienced designer and multidisciplinary creative lead. I bridge creative direction with systems thinking to craft brands, interfaces, and environments that connect people with place and purpose.

I design for culture, sustainability, business, and civic life, collaborating with cultural institutions, real estate developers, and tech teams to turn ideas into engaging experiences and meaningful impact.

In my past roles, I’ve worked on museum exhibitions, strategic b2b content, websites, digital products, printed materials, presentations, visual identity systems, personal branding, and much more.

I am detail oriented and thorough in my work. I move quick, but quality work is important and I make sure to take time to develop the best solutions for every project.

LinkZorg is a digital platform designed to help emergency staff at OLVG Oost Hospital in Amsterdam connect 3U patients—those who are unhoused, undocumented, or uninsured—with essential follow-up care.
Our design team developed the platform over 12 weeks as part of the Master of Digital Design at HvA, responding directly to feedback from hospital doctors, nurses, care coordinators, and social workers.
I contributed to research, UX/UI and visual design, writing, illustration, and project leadership, guiding the team of 3 designers through critical decision points to shape a tool that’s both practical and sensitive to patient realities.
The live website features a custom resource database, multilingual filtering, and a printable care plan generator, all designed to reduce discharge stress and improve health equity.
Recognized by HvA and OLVG Oost, LinkZorg has been adopted for implementation by the hospital, where further testing will help refine the database and user experience.
