"It was my pleasure to have had Daniela in two of my courses. She was an exemplary student whose thoughtfulness and analytical ability were expressed both in the written work she submitted and in her contributions to discussions in class. Her international experience and heightened cultural sensitivity lent a welcome cosmopolitan dimension to our classroom deliberation of issues such as civic engagement, philanthropy, accountability of nonprofits and more. I have no doubt Daniela would be a valuable asset in any professional setting that places a premium on cross-cultural collaboration, teamwork and intellectual integrity.”

Daniela has a gift for helping people translate their purpose into a tangible brand and product, and is truly magical in her work. She was brilliant in how she was able to take who I am and what I stand for, and create a cohesive brand and website that completely reflects this. People who have known me my whole life couldn't believe how accurately my website captured my essence and personality.

She helped me go even deeper into my "why" when I wasn't able to find the words myself. Now, I feel so much more confident in what I share!!!! I have a direction, clarity, and all the tools to support my beautiful work. I am excited about my "job" but really, my purpose in life.”

"First, the final logos: I LOVE these! Second, this website is GORGEOUS. It's absolutely stunning and I am THRILLED with the transformation from my previous site!"
I needed my vision and personality to come through in my website, and my favorite part of this process was that I was involved on both fronts. I now feel my personal brand has a renewed sense of life and professionalism. But it goes beyond that — now that I've articulated my brand purpose, I see endless possibilities for the stories and books I have yet to write.

“I absolutely love my new website and logo and how Daniela used my words in all the right places—I couldn’t do that myself!"
Through Daniela’s brand clarity sessions, I discovered how to make my brand more authentic and true to myself so I can attract and work with the right people. It would have probably taken me years to get this kind of clarity about how I want to run my business! I’m so grateful the universe brought us together.”
