I help brands create, maintain, and evolve their brand identities. I empower them tell their unique stories through beautiful visuals, compelling copy, and intuitive web experiences.

​

I'm a first-generation Chinese American currently working in the Bay Area, CA.  I have over 15 years of experience in design, web, branding, & marketing.

Working Style

Empathy — I'm human-focused and approach everything I do with empathy, thoughtfulness, and consideration.
 

Visual Thinker  – I'm able to translate complex ideas into compelling, easy-to-understand visual stories.
 

Community – I love creating and nurturing genuine connections and excel at cross-functional collaboration.
 

Organization – I excel at planning and organization; this skill allows me to achieve a high level of performance and efficiency in all of my creative projects.

I believe good creative should tell a brand's story – their mission, their values, their expertise.  Through carefully crafted visual experiences that evoke emotion, brands can holistically connect to,  engage with, and grow their audience. 

"I saw first-hand her ability to create thoughtful and beautiful design systems and accompanying guidelines, as well as develop compelling and authentic marketing campaigns, executing dozens of deliverables.

 

Along with being an experienced and insightful designer, Dana is an absolute gem of a person and a damn delight to work with."

Melissa H., Pandora

"Dana brings a thoughtful perspective and a keen eye to everything she touches. Her ability to seamlessly blend technical skill, creativity, and empathy to any design brief is such a huge asset.

 

She is detail oriented, hard working, and knowledgable about her craft. Most of all, Dana is a rad human who brings a sincere and positive energy that shines through her work. She is the heart of any team and a critical asset to any project."

Dan H., SiriusXM

"Dana is a shining star and beacon of light. Not only is she a talented designer but she's also a skilled community builder, culture carrier and often acts as the glue that holds people together.

 

Dana is a pillar of strength and stability for all those lucky enough to call her a coworker and friend. She's also an incredible collaborator and organizer whether she's focused on a specific design project or a large company event."

Marin M., Pandora
