Danielle Dillon

Hi, my name is Danielle. I’m currently spending most of my time doing brand and marketing design at Wistia.

I’m a designer, and also a hiker, gardener, cat and dog parent, artist, poet, spin instructor, and guitarist. Big explorer.

I really love creating–
it’s where I find the most joy.

 

Product designer with background in brand, systems, and computer science – my superpower lies where they all meet.

My most notable contribution from Danielle was her dedicated intention to really grasp the strategy and thoroughly evaluate how best to deliver against it. Often times, partners will see the guardrails of the mandatories and check their creativity at the door. Every time I collaborated with Danielle, I felt the exact opposite – she would step into the work more deeply and really lean into her creative powers to problem solve for the business and customer.

Travels

I’m inspired by the awe and accomplishment that come from time outside. Video has become a creative outlet for me to enhance and relive these experiences.
