About
I'm Daniel,
a brand strategist and creative director.
I work with founders and small teams to quickly align product, messaging, values, and aesthetics without agency overhead or long engagements.

Brand Sprints are designed to move fast. They don’t over-design, over-polish, or force decisions you’re not ready for. They create enough clarity to move forward — fundraising, hiring, building, and selling with confidence.

Many of the startups I work with are technically complex, unconventional, or early in their category where clarity matters even more.

I run fast, narrative-led Brand Sprints that help startups establish clarity, credibility, and momentum early.
