Originally from the northeastern countryside, Daniel attended Outward Bound as a teenager. There he’d discover a natural propensity for teamwork, leadership and an ability to thrive in challenging environments. His talents in art and music were prominent at an early age, diverting his trajectory from traditional schooling to seek out more focused studies in Southern California and Florida.

Daniel is a lifelong drummer and musician leading and performing with bands for many years. He holds citizenship in the US and EU, studies Italian, and loves to travel the world, shooting documentaries, and learning to cook local cuisine. He recently spent a year in Europe working remotely before returning to New York City.

The stars first aligned for Daniel while being fired from his job. Working for Philadelphia based sculptor Ray King, Daniel managed to renegotiate his termination into a creative pitch, completely rebranding King’s digital marketing and print presence. Any of Ray’s reservations were soon dispelled once he saw the quality of work being performed. This success paved the way to larger, more lucrative client projects and underscored the true power of taking risks and trusting his instincts.

From freelance gigs to senior roles, Daniel immersed himself in everything from motion graphics to web design, cinematography to projection mapping, business and finance. Working as a Digital Art Director in New York City, he collaborated with many of the city’s top talent and creative business owners. When the 2008 recession left many out of work, Daniel co-founded and led a small production studio, experiencing the day to day operations of running a small business.

His background in music became a strong professional asset and vital to his approach towards pacing and storytelling. Parkwood Entertainment tapped him to sync their stage lighting and visuals to the rhythmically complex drumline of the popular song Girls by Beyoncé for an upcoming tour. Daniel’s meticulous attention to detail and quick turnaround earned him an instant nod of approval from Beyoncé herself—a moment that showcased his ability to merge sound and visuals into live spaces.

When Diesel faced production delays for a high-concept multi-screen installation, Daniel stepped in to streamline the process. By directing motion art boards and refining the production strategy, he helped the team deliver a jaw-dropping display despite a tight timeline. His ability to adapt under pressure and deliver polished results is one of his signature strengths.

Daniel is a visionary leader known for uniting teams, communicating with clarity, and delivering strategic creative solutions. With expertise in design, strategy, and animation, he drives projects from concept to execution with innovation and style. His deep understanding of the entertainment and fashion industries ensures impactful work that resonates with audiences.
