Hi, I am Danie, a digital designer and front-end web developer with over 6 years of experience in the industry. I started my career as a traditional print/DTP designer and transitioned my skills with illustrations and design fundamentals to becoming a creator of unique and interactive online experiences.


I seek to create the best work possible, making sure every aspect of a project gets produced at the highest quality. I live for new technologies and methods, and use it to make the web more awesome.


When I’m not creating in front of the computer, I like to spend time with loved ones, enjoy some gaming, read a book, travel, and explore and live life to the fullest.
