¡Hola! I'm Daniela, a Chilean-American artist, illustrator, and senior graphic designer. 
I've been designing for 10 years and drawing since childhood. My professional journey kicked off in 2019, after I landed the graphic design summer internship role at the Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts. I contributed to a variety of in-house projects from newspaper ads to dinner programs. The design team there was so skilled and knowledgable, I learned a lot from them. The following year I graduated Summa Cum Laude from George Mason University with a B.F.A. in Art and Visual Technology. My post-college job search began at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. After months of searching and dead-end interviews, I eventually found the Hatcher Group where one of my professors from Mason worked as a Creative Director. She was delighted to hear from me and encouraged me to apply. With her support, I became a full-fledged graphic designer at Hatcher.
Today at Hatcher, my award-winning design and illustration skills shine across both digital and print mediums for a diverse clientele, including pivotal work for MD529, National WIC Association, Southern Maryland National Heritage Area, and Highlights x Google. My contributions led Hatcher to win over 40 awards in a six year span. By the end of 2023, I was promoted to Senior Graphic Designer. And in 2025, I was chosen as interim Art Director for Hatcher's own marketing assets. Day-to-day, I continue to collaborate closely with my Hatcher colleagues to translate complex concepts into engaging visual narratives.
In my free time, I love to create art and paint. At the moment, I am working on a series of radial floral paintings. Stay tuned ☺
