Introduction
Hi, I’m Daniel, a Creative Director and lifelong world traveler.
On the right is a photo of me at seventeen in Botswana, building homes for Habitat for Humanity on an international exchange programme with The Experiment in International Living. It was foundational to my professional journey and creative success.
This portfolio is designed to reveal more than technical design skills. It’s a personal narrative, a photographic documentary, and a presentation of my work as a designer and creative leader. All of it rooted in the same thing that sent me to Botswana at seventeen: a search for connection within a larger global community.
It demonstrates my ability to see and communicate a lived experience that I believe EF wants for its future.

About
Leadership built internationally.
Every skill I’ve developed found its edge in the field. The graphic textures of indigenous art and woven textiles shaped how I see. New languages forced precision in how I communicate. And leading international groups through remote terrain built the one thing no studio teaches: the ability to make a group of strangers feel like a team.
About
Sharpened by distance.
Along the way, I worked across mediums and markets: from print magazines to mobile apps, from remote startups to in-house teams scaling to millions. Each role stretched a different muscle: strategy, storytelling, leadership, execution.
Today, as a Creative Director, I bring the full weight of that lived experience into every project. I’ve taken the long road, but it’s made the work sharper, more dimensional, and deeply human.
And it all began with an international exchange program like EF.

Various Magazines · Editorial Design & Creative Direction
Executive Editor &
Creative Director
Creative Director
Spearheaded the ideation, design, and rollout of a complete relaunch of My Magical Myanmar, transitioning it from a dense quarterly into a tight 84-page monthly. By refocusing the publication on local stories that highlighted the natural and cultural beauty of Myanmar, we elevated the content and grew ad revenue from travel, hospitality, and F&B partners.
As Myanmar opened its borders, the arts, nightlife, and F&B scenes quickly bloomed. I joined Myanmore as a contributing writer and photographer before taking on a full-time role as Executive Editor, growing InDepth into a monthly social and lifestyle magazine with a 10,000 print circulation, monthly networking events, and an expanding digital presence.

Artbook & Editorial
Design Direction
Design Direction
A curated visual monograph capturing the artwork of Janavi M. Folmsbee. I led the design as Director and Visual Storyteller, shaping the book’s visual flow, narrative, and editorial architecture to reflect the depth, movement, and emotional resonance of her mixed-media work. Rather than simply presenting images, the design functions as an immersive gallery-in-print that invites museums, galleries, collectors, and art enthusiasts into a tactile experience of the artist’s world.

Developed in partnership with Astellas Pharma’s Rx+ program, Orchana was a virtual-first menopause care platform combining health coaching, community support, and science-backed resources. The platform evolved toward a behavior-change model integrating continuous glucose monitoring and personalized insights to help women better manage menopausal symptoms.

Network International School · Photography, Editorial & Layout Design
School Prospectus &
Brand Direction
Brand Direction
Network International School was one of Yangon's leading international schools at a pivotal moment: as Myanmar opened its borders, foreign families with real options needed to believe, and quickly, that NIS was worth choosing. The prospectus had to do the work of an admissions officer, a brand statement, and a visual argument all at once.
I led the full prospectus from brief to print: editorial architecture, photography curation and direction, layout, and production. The central tension was finding the register that sat between institutional credibility and genuine warmth. NIS needed to feel rigorous without feeling cold, international without feeling inaccessible. Every spread was built to hold both simultaneously.
The insight that held it together: families don’t choose schools on data alone. They choose on feeling, then use the data to justify the decision they’ve already made. The design had to lead with the feeling. That’s the same brief EF navigates every time a student opens a tour catalog or lands on an enrollment page.

Bomber Long Drive · Brand Identity
Identity System &
Visual Language
Visual Language
Developed as a modern reinvention of professional long drive, Bomber Long Drive positioned itself at the intersection of elite sport, entertainment, and digital-first fandom. The platform expanded long drive beyond traditional golf audiences through bold brand expression, athlete storytelling, and media-driven experiences designed for social, live events, and sponsorship growth.
Built the complete identity system from the ground up: brand chart, wordmark, visual language, and application across every touchpoint. A brand that needed to feel both technically credible and unmistakably bold.
