ABOUT ME

I’m Daniel Cohoes, a multidisciplinary Senior Designer who helps brands translate complex ideas into clear, engaging visual experiences. My work spans motion graphics, visual communication, 3D design, and UI/UX, with a focus on building polished, brand-aligned creative that performs across digital, print, and presentation channels.

I’m strongest when I can lead the process from concept to final delivery. That includes shaping the message, developing visual direction, storyboarding, designing interfaces and assets, producing motion content, and refining outputs for real-world use across web, social, internal communications, and client-facing materials. I enjoy turning technical or abstract information into visuals that feel simple, intentional, and easy to understand.

My approach is organized, collaborative, and production-minded. I build clean systems, reusable templates, and scalable workflows that help teams move faster while maintaining consistency and quality. I regularly use AI-assisted tools like ChatGPT, Adobe Firefly, Canva AI, Runway, and Midjourney to accelerate ideation, iteration, and creative development while keeping strategy and craftsmanship at the center.

If you’re looking for a creative partner who can combine design thinking, storytelling, and modern production workflows to elevate your brand, I’d love to connect.
