ABOUT ME

I’m Daniel Cohoes, a creative designer and animator who helps brands tell clear, human stories through video, motion, and design. I blend creative direction with hands on production to deliver polished assets that feel on brand, emotionally engaging, and built for real world channels.

I’m strongest when I can own the process end to end. That includes shaping the message, writing and tightening scripts, storyboarding, producing visuals, editing, adding motion graphics, and delivering final outputs for web, social, and internal communications. I’m comfortable interviewing stakeholders and turning what they say into strong narratives, whether it’s culture, testimonials, leadership messaging, or product storytelling.

My style is organized and production minded. I keep files clean, build reusable templates, and maintain libraries of assets so teams can move faster without sacrificing quality. If you need someone who can take an idea from rough concept to finished piece and make it feel effortless to everyone else, that’s where I thrive.

If you’re looking for a creative partner who can combine design, technology, and storytelling to elevate your brand, I’m ready to help make your next project a success!
