When no one can agree on the right solution, I help teams move forward.
I’m Danielle
10 years ago, I started my career in UX design with early-stage startups and quickly shifted into user research when I realized my true talent was in giving teams the confidence to act on solutions.
Over the last decade, I've evolved into a strategist who helps organizations connect ambitious goals with the needs of the people they serve.
My work spans complex industries like healthcare, finance, and life sciences. I specialize in environments where you can't afford to "move fast and break things."
I leverage my skills as a mixed-methods researcher to help clients navigate the organizational dynamics that make innovation so challenging in regulated industries.
I’m based in New York, NY, but, occasionally, you’ll find me in the San Francisco Bay Area.
In 2024, I founded an independent consultancy called Truth Layer Design. I accept C2C contracts and consulting engagements through Truth Layer.
