I HIGHLY recommend Dani. She is one of a kind!" HH

I’m a Creativity Coach who believes in the power of combining art and business. I’ve had the good fortune to parlay my passion for art and business into several successful ventures. These experiences are the foundation for my plan to share my skills, beliefs and methods of living the Business of Your Life, Artfully.
My background in teaching and mentoring both adults and teens has made me aware of the different ways in which people acquire knowledge. I encourage creativity in people to express themselves and find validation from the “inside-out.” I then aide my clients by illustrating how to channel this creativity into success in the business world.
I'm the designer and owner of "Perennials by Danita," an original art clothing-gift line in such stores as Bergdorf Goodman, Nordstrom, Bonwit Teller and over 30 international baby boutiques.
I'm the creator of "Sweet Nothings,” an international greeting card / gift collection for "Painted Hearts & Co," Castle Press USA

I've written for PBS.
I've published books including The Arts Through Academia Book Series which includes the Scholastic Trade Company Teaching Manuals Bilingual Cartooning, Play It Forward Writing Club, Original Authors Book Discussion Club and Friday Night Sports Math. In addition, I’ve published Scrambled Chickens à la Mode: A Cookbook For Singles.
I'm currently in development on a show called Art In the Kitchen, about cooking tasty and aesthetically pleasing meals with the vibes of Van Gogh, Frida Kahlo, and Picasso in 10 healthy ingredients or less. I am also developing a show for the Travel Channel entitled Reel Life Travel.
Credentials/Background
Whether you’re a teen who is stuck in school and needing some creative inspiration to understand your tedious science or math homework in an unconventional but effective manner, or a Senior Vice President who has lost your enthusiasm for your job and your life, I’m here to help. I want you to live “The Dani Experience.” I will encourage you to honor your creativity in multi-expressive venues. Actors cook. Writers sing. Computer-whizzes dance. There are no blocks, creative or otherwise. I have never experienced them and I do not believe in them.
My coaching, much like Heather’s, is quick and easy. There is no need to inflict pain in your gain. We’ll keep the FUN in our functional (one of my mantras). I suggest a period of six weeks for your creative evolution. Although shorter than a college quarter, a great deal can be accomplished in six brief weeks. You will be in charge. My talent is to make your visions viable and help you access the action you need to get going.
I look forward to working with you and sharing my brand of SMART ART, exploring your acquisition of both the practical and the creative – your success-blend that will have you living your life as an expression of your true self and making money doing it.
