hey!

I'm Dani, and I graduated from the University of Michigan in 2025 with a degree in Cognitive Science and minors in Business and Art & Design. I am a creative-minded individual constantly looking for ways to combine the analytical and imaginative sides of my brain within my work. Highly interested in brand strategy and consumer behavior, I'm looking to involve human insights and creative solutions in everything that I do. Just as human thought drives every action, something else drives those thoughts. My goal is to uncover the hidden meaning behind our actions and use that meaning to drive value in daily life.
