About Me

Danielle Schmitz

DIGITAL MARKETING STUDENT | ARTIST

How would I describe myself? Think of me as a 21st-century Renaissance woman—with the eye of an artist, the heart of a poet, and now the growing savvy of a digital marketer. As I work toward my Associate’s degree in digital marketing, I’m building on the foundation of my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree earned a decade ago.

I create art in any medium I can get my paint-stained fingers on. Over the years, my surrealist photography and mixed-media collages have sparked curiosity and imagination in the audiences who’ve encountered them.

Outside the art world, I’ve spent years working in food service and labor roles—quietly observing people, their habits, their emotions, and the small human details that often go unnoticed. Those experiences shaped my understanding of how people think, feel, and connect. Now, I’m channeling those insights into digital communication, crafting content that speaks to people where they are.

My strong design instincts and Photoshop skills help me translate ideas into intuitive, striking visuals, while my hands-on art background brings an expressive, imaginative style to everything I create. The result? Content that doesn’t just tell a story—it invites the audience to imagine their own.
