Hey there! I’m Daniel, a self-taught illustrator, character designer, and storyteller based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Art has always been my way of making sense of the world, and over the years, I’ve poured my heart into learning everything I know, one sketch, one story, one late night at a time.

I am the creator of Haloween, a children’s book series and board game filled with emotion, quirky charm, and just the right amount of darkness. I love blending the whimsical with the mysterious and creating characters and worlds that feel magical, honest, and a little haunted by feeling.

While my roots are in 2D, I’ve recently started bringing my characters into the 3D world as well, teaching myself modeling to expand the way I tell stories. It’s a new frontier for me, but one I’m excited to keep growing in.

I may not have worked for a big studio (yet!), but everything you see here was built from scratch with curiosity, dedication, and a passion for telling stories that linger. If you’re looking for artwork that’s expressive, moody, and full of soul I’d be thrilled to create something together.
