Dana Davis is a multidisciplinary creative whose work spans the full form of media. From editorial and advertising to branding, publishing, and tech, she provides a thoughtful, experimental approach to each project, consistently pushing the boundaries of how we perceive and interact with design. Her practice is defined by a deep curiosity and an ability to shift between mediums, allowing her to reframe visual communication through a fresh and dynamic lens.

Her editorial work with The New York Times (Wirecutter) showcases her signature use of negative space, bold typography, and vibrant color palettes. Her compositions are both visually striking and conceptually refined—designed to create mood, push insight, and invite the viewer to pause.

In contrast, her marketing campaigns, developed in collaboration with Breyden Sheldon, Kavya Sivaraman, and Creative Directors Ryan Hines and Julia Harris, take on a more streamlined, direct approach. This versatility highlights Davis’s ability to adapt her visual language to suit the needs of each project, balancing creative risk with clarity. Across platforms and mediums, she continues to push the boundaries of design, offering fresh perspectives in an increasingly saturated visual landscape.

She has worked with a range of notable brands, including NOOK, EOS, Sesame, Who Gives A Crap, Harvard Business Review, Interior Design, and OkCupid, all while consistently pushing the beauty of design with her own freelance work. As she continues to experiment and evolve her practice, she brings a fresh, thoughtful perspective to every collaboration, consistently pushing the boundaries of creativity across various mediums.
