I build brand identities and live event experiences for psychedelic, cannabis, and wellness companies — the kind of work that has to feel as good as it looks.
Brand systems, packaging, and event identities built for companies who don't want to look like anyone else.
420skincare & Medibles came to the table needing a complete brand upgrade — a full identity overhaul from the logo out, built to hold up on shelf and online.
Dated logo, inconsistent packaging, and messaging that didn't match the quality of the product underneath.
New logo, refined color and type system, packaging redesign across the full product line, and a brand book to keep every future asset consistent.
Logo suite, label and packaging system, product photography direction, brand guidelines.
A cohesive identity built to scale across every SKU and every future launch.
I handle branding, event marketing, and sponsorship strategy for the Psychedelic Institute of Los Angeles — a nonprofit running a full calendar of Symposiums, Ceremonies and Celebrations, the INSIGHT Music Festival, and its flagship Awakening Conference, the organization's first and longest-running event.
Posting was reactive and event-only — a flyer went up when there was an event, with no strategy or consistent presence in between. Past support had only ever been hired for one-month pushes.
First time given ongoing control of the account. Built a content system around three pillars — Educate, Experience, Origin — with a distinct but related visual identity for every event type, and a day-by-day calendar with zero gaps across Post, Story, and Reel formats.
The numbers below reflect the first 90 days of consistent, strategy-led posting on this account — not an optimization of something already running.
Net new followers across both PsI accounts in the first 90 days of consistent posting.
A recurring cannabis lounge event series needing fresh, on-brand graphics week after week — Thirsty Thursdays, Chronic Crafters, Blazer & Buds, and more — without the identity ever feeling repetitive.
A weekly cadence of distinct events, each needing its own personality while staying instantly recognizable as Green Room.
A flexible template system — consistent type and color logic, different illustration and mood per event theme.
A dozen-plus distinct event identities, still running, still selling out weekly slots.
A cadence the venue can count on, every single week.
Full-scope brand support for the Blunt Brunch series — event marketing pieces, social media campaign graphics, and the in-person materials that carry the brand on-site: banners and step-and-repeats. That consistency earned multiple features in both Cannabis Now and Sensi Magazine, spanning Las Vegas activations and beyond.
Event marketing pieces built to drive ticket sales and awareness ahead of each Blunt Brunch activation.
Campaign graphics carrying the brand across every social touchpoint, before and during each event.
Banners and step-and-repeats that brought the brand into physical space — the backdrop for every photo taken at the event.
Featured multiple times in both Cannabis Now and Sensi Magazine.
For its 2nd annual conference, a complete visual identity and marketing transformation positioned the event as a premier industry gathering. Backed by MJBizCon — the largest cannabis conference in Las Vegas — the event officially became the pre-conference kickoff for Weed Week in Vegas.
Reinventing the 2nd annual conference with a fresh, authoritative brand identity worthy of national industry backing.
A high-impact event brand system spanning speaker promotions, social media countdowns, executive merch, and VIP badges.
Secured endorsement and support from MJBizCon, earning recognition as the official pre-conference kickoff for Weed Week in Las Vegas.
An iconic Vegas activation that set the benchmark prior to the COVID shutdown.
A few more identities built from the ground up.
A three-month content engagement built entirely around original production — custom video pieces and brand storytelling created from the ground up for every post, rather than templated graphics. The most video-heavy body of content in this portfolio.
A prominent Orange County delivery service lost marketing momentum after a licensing change. The fix was a real-world event, not another ad.
Customer retention had dropped following a forced pause in marketing. DLVRY needed to re-engage a lapsed audience fast.
A Customer Appreciation Bash — top-selling brands on display, interactive sampling, direct engagement over another ad push.
Full event marketing: activation design, in-person brand experience, and content capture for reuse across channels.
Increase in orders from previously inactive customers.
A long-running relationship with an organic manufacturing partner — starting with a full brand elevation for her flagship line, and extending into original brand identities designed for several of her white-label clients, each with its own name, packaging, and shelf presence.
Hi, I'm Dani — I design brands and build the events that bring them to life.
My path into psychedelic and cannabis branding wasn't accidental. Before I ever picked up a design tool, I spent years immersed in performance, advocacy, and community-building — six years hosting workshops at transformational festivals like Lightning in a Bottle and Lucidity, and time on the team behind the National Women of Cannabis conference. That's where my love of event marketing took root. That firsthand experience shapes every brand I touch.
I currently handle branding, event marketing, and sponsorship strategy for the Psychedelic Institute of Los Angeles — including its Symposiums, Ceremonies and Celebrations, and the INSIGHT Music Festival — alongside branding work for cannabis and wellness companies across California. Whether it's a logo, a full event activation, or a sponsorship deck that closes deals, I bring the same thing to every project: design with intention, built by someone who understands why it matters.
