I'M DANI

thanks for stopping by! let me tell you a little bit about how i got here.

 

being creative has always been a major part of my life. i took all art classes in high school and college with a focus in graphic design. i graduated with my bs in graphic design in december 2006.

 

i got my first job as a graphic designer at the pantagraph specializing in a lot of copy and major multitasking...all while selling shoes. OH MY GOD SHOES! i did that for a few years, then moved back home to the burbs of chicago and couldn't find a graphic design job. 

​

i have always had a love for the beauty industry, my mom is a hairstylist going on being licensed for 50 years! at this time i was creating a massive personal makeup collection because sephora was all the rage so i decided to enroll in cosmetology school. i was nervous at the time but little did i know that would have been the best decision i have ever made. 

​

i've done makeup for paul mitchell, behindthechair.com, michelle oconnor, chris appleton, and more.

​

thanks for sticking through til the end to answer that burning question you had when you got here "how the hell is this girl a hairstylist, makeup artist, and graphic designer?
