ART DIRECTOR // CREATIVE PRODUCER // BRAND STORYTELLER

about

about the artist

 

My name’s Danielle. I’m a multidisciplinary creative working across art direction, editorial photography, and campaign storytelling. My work explores culture, travel, and atmosphere through concept-driven visual narratives.

I am the creator of Electric Lady, a creative platform and personal brand through which I produce independent editorial projects, travel storytelling, and cultural photography. Electric Lady began as an exploration of identity and visual storytelling and evolved into a multi-media producing brand that blends fashion, nostalgia, travel, and lifestyle imagery.

Today I continue to develop visual campaigns and digital content that translates culture and place into cohesive visual stories.

Based in Dallas, forever exploring.

HOW I CREATE MY WORK: Growing up I was heavily influenced by the fashion brands and campaigns of the late ’90s and early 2000s. I was heavily inspired by the creative campaigns of brands like Delia’s, Steve Madden, and Abercrombie & Fitch, and shows like America’s Next Top Model. I began creating my own editorial-style shoots in my teens acting as not only photographer and editor, but experimenting with styling, directing, location, and narrative to build bodies of work that felt cinematic and culturally rooted.

That influence still shapes my work today. My current style is made up of raw aesthetic and vibrant colors that blend nostalgia with contemporary storytelling and a more inclusive visual perspective.

WHO I AM: I believe in capturing the moments-between-moments. The raw. The mundane. I don’t believe things need to be perfect or complex to be beautiful or have value. With a raw and authentic photographic style, I prefer to prove my worth through my work rather than my ability to recreate trends. I am passionate about highlighting issues of social justice, conveying important stories, and prioritizing inclusivity and realness in my subjects. 

WHAT I DO: After spending hours hunched over my desk editing, I like to spend my time outside of visual art with music. I’m constantly creating perfectly curated playlists, I'm learning drums, and also DJ. I prefer summer over winter, and beach over mountains. I have an insatiable curiosity for history, culture, and travel.
