story art &. illustration
Hi! My name is Dani and I'm a Toronto-based Story Artist / Illustrator!
I always had a passion for visual storytelling and enjoy thinking of all the ways to bring stories to life on screens big and small.
​
I have experience crafting concept designs for characters and props. I also have experience creating storyboards from thumbnails all the way to a final edited animatic.
​
Most recently, I worked as the Director and Story Lead for my thesis film "The Ballad of Skipjack and Atticus", which won the TAAFI Golden Ticket 2024 and Best Screenplay at Tombstone Film Festival 2025.
When not doodling away, I can usually be found getting distracted by loot in open world RPGS, reading fantasy books, or getting my cosplay ready for the upcoming con season.
