I’M DANEILLA!

I make design that lives

beyond the screen

I am passionate about tactile design, cultural design and human connection.

I’m an Auckland-based multidisciplinary designer passionate about bringing people’s visions to life. In an increasingly digital world, I’m drawn to tactile design and the value of creating physical experiences that feels authentic and real. As a pacific woman, I am passionate about representing pacific peoples stories and experiences through design, giving them a creative voice. I enjoy creating work that people can see, touch, and connect with on a human level.

I design for people who seek genuine connection and meaningful, culturally informed experiences. My practice is grounded in empathy, allowing me to understand and represent people in a way that feels personal and genuine. What sets me apart is my commitment to cultural perspective and my genuine care for the relationships I build with both clients and users, ensuring every project is thoughtful and human-centered.
