Hi!
My name is Daniel Paniagua, and I see design everywhere. The rooms I enter, the vehicles that cross my path, highway billboards, grocery store products—design reveals itself in every form.
Design is empathizing with clients’ psychology to bring their visions to light. Design is developing conceptual ideas that yield functional, visually appealing pieces. Design is storytelling, and as a graphic designer, I enjoy helping clients tell the best stories possible.
When I drew the character Pegasus Seiya from the Japanese anime series Knights of the Zodiac, some of my classmates liked it, and some began to draw their own. At that moment, at seven years old, I knew the power of creating visuals to inspire others.
Whether creating logos and branding, designing for print or digital, providing art direction, or designing better user experiences, I'm passionate about helping people across any industry communicate well through design that balances aesthetics and functionality. I dream in Spanish, speak English fluently, and see opportunities for excellent design everywhere.
