I believe that visual communication is no different from verbal communication. It’s essential to know who you’re speaking to and how to address them. Just as we use different words and tones when telling a joke compared to when narrating a horror story, the same principle applies to visual storytelling. A visual communication professional’s job is to tell stories—not with words, but through compositions, shapes, colors, styles, and design.
My professional goal is simple: to carefully choose my visual “words” so that the stories I tell are worth experiencing, ensuring they are fresh, understandable, and engaging.
My name is Daniel. I have been involved in visual design since high school. I started my career as a graphic designer, but soon became fascinated with the idea of bringing my designs to life, which led me to earn a degree in Media Design. Over the years, I developed a deep passion for the possibilities within 3D design, and I quickly realized that graphic design, direction, filming, 2D animation, and 3D animation together offer me a playground for effectively and creatively solving visual challenges.
