hello@dani.studio

I am a co-founder of IntoHaus, a creative and cultural agency. As an exhibition and cultural projects director, I work internationally between Europe and Brazil. My practice develops multidisciplinary projects at the intersection of contemporary art, exhibition-making, performance, and moving image.

My career spans over two decades. I began in film and advertising as a Production Designer for global agencies, including Publicis, Ogilvy, and McCann. I orchestrated large-scale creative and technical teams for brands such as Microsoft, Nivea, and Canon. Through this, I refined my expertise in aesthetic direction, strategic planning, and complex logistics. This background shapes my leadership approach. It helps me bridge the gap between creative vision and its physical realisation.

Today, I leverage this broad experience to collaborate with a diverse network of artists, cultural organisations, and brands who strive to engage meaningfully with the arts. My work spans the entire project lifecycle, covering conceptual strategy, artistic direction, hands-on production, and spatial strategy. In 2023, I expanded my reach by founding Into.Gallery, a platform for flexible, itinerant formats that sustains my commitment to making art accessible and engaging new audiences worldwide.

Production Design for Film and Advertising

Authored a professional publication examining production design within film and advertising, structured around the full creative, technical and operational lifecycle of a project. The book traces the historical development of art direction and the professionalisation of the production designer role, and analyses the translation of scripts into visual concepts. It addresses collaborative processes across departments, strategic partnerships with directors and cinematographers, location and studio decision-making, colour strategy, project presentation, on-set execution, post-production workflows, and professional responsibilities relating to ethics and safety. The publication draws on over two decades of international professional practice and is currently being revised and formatted.

ONGOING PROJECTS


A-Mar:Arte que Regenera Creator, Artistic Direction & Project Coordinator Barcelona, Berlin and Rio de Janeiro - 2027

A-Mar: Arte que Regenera is a multidisciplinary initiative that fosters dialogue among textile art, marine science, and sustainability. Created to address issues such as coral bleaching and the environmental impact of the fashion industry, it explores humanity’s connection to Rio de Janeiro’s coastline.

The initiative’s core objectives are to raise public awareness of contemporary environmental challenges, promote social inclusion, and provide economic empowerment for young people from marginalised communities. It offers an immersive experience comprising interactive exhibitions, textile upcycling workshops, panel discussions, and audiovisual content to achieve these aims.

The project is scheduled to take place in Rio de Janeiro in 2027, with ongoing connections with Barcelona, London, and Berlin. We invite artists, scientists, and the public to join us in this initiative and contribute to a more sustainable future.

Yoga dos Bichos Funding proposal writer Berlin and Rio de Janeiro

Yoga dos Bichos invites children and families to enjoy an artistic experience around a large tree. Eight musicians, two dancers, and a storyteller lead the audience with Afro-Brazilian rhythms and animal yoga poses. Each animal comes to life through a call-and-response with sound and movement, encouraging children’s participation and body awareness.
The project blends music, storytelling, and movement to create a fun and accessible space where imagination meets culture. As a group activity, it promotes well-being, social connection, and a lasting encounter with the performing arts. 

Deepverse #1 Artistic director & Set design Berlin and Rio de Janeiro
DEEPVERSE #1 is an interactive display that redefines portrait-making through biometric data. Inspired by the close connection between artist and subject, this project offers a new view: instead of an artist interpreting you, the portrait is created from your own digital data. The system uses EEG signals from a brainwave sensor to create dynamic visual masks that alter your image in real time, revealing patterns and changes in your brain activity.

SELECTED WORKS


Brasilien in Berlin Creator, Artistic Direction & Project Coordinator São Paulo and Berlin
Brasilien in Berlin is a vibrant 48-hour festival. It weaves together Brazilian and German cultural identities. The event offers a curated circuit of art, gastronomy, cinema, live music, and late-night sets. It provides a deep cultural immersion for Berliners and the Brazilian diaspora alike within the German capital.

By positioning Brazilian culture as both contemporary and dynamic, the festival showcases the breadth of current artistic production, featuring established figures and emerging talents. Its intensive format invites participants to engage with Brazilian culture through concurrent exhibitions, film screenings, and culinary experiences. Reflecting its institutional significance, the project was supported by a €312,000 grant from Brazil’s Lei Rouanet, a key federal funding mechanism for major cultural initiatives.

Indigenous of Brazil Artistic Direction & Project Coordinator Berlin
The Indigenous of Brazil project offers a profound immersion into the cultures of Brazil’s Indigenous peoples, serving as a vital platform for cultural preservation and intercultural dialogue. By integrating exhibitions, lectures, and workshops led by specialists in anthropology, ethnology, and the arts, the initiative highlights civilisations that are often underrepresented in mainstream discourse.

The program features visual showcases of Indigenous art and artifacts, alongside academic symposiums and hands-on workshops that explore both ancestral traditions and contemporary practices. By framing Indigenous culture as living heritage, the project highlights its enduring continuity and dynamic evolution. We work closely with specialists to provide nuanced representation, celebrating Indigenous contributions to global heritage and amplifying Indigenous voices in institutional and public spaces.

We unite artists, institutions, and brands to realize multidisciplinary projects integrating research, curatorial practice, and production.

Into.Gallery Founder & Creative director

www.into.gallery

Based in Berlin and established in December 2023, Into.Gallery is a contemporary online platform that produces nomadic exhibitions across the city. Representing a diverse roster of 15 artists, the gallery operates through a hybrid digital-physical model designed to democratise art. This approach pairs a global online presence with curated pop-up events in unconventional spaces, fostering meaningful dialogue and connecting artists directly with new and diverse audiences.


Gropius Bau Set designer Berlin

Set design for the Ubiquitous Assimilation performance.


Tin Man Production designer São Paulo
Tin Man is a project that looks at emotional disconnection through a moving visual story. It focuses on a father who has become very distant from his family. This distance is shown as a man 'without a heart.' To show his coldness and detachment, the main character was made from stiff, mechanical parts. In contrast, the background was made with warm colors and soft textures. This clear difference makes his isolation more pronounced and underscores the theme of broken family bonds.

Rube Goldberg Machine Production designer & Set designer São Paulo
For a Benegrip campaign, I created a bespoke Rube Goldberg Machine as a striking visual metaphor for the medicine’s journey—from ingestion to symptom relief—demonstrating the product’s efficacy through a chain reaction.

The project required meticulous mechanical planning so each component triggered the next precisely for the camera. I ensured the machine’s look balanced functional mechanics with Benegrip’s branding by selecting colors and materials aligned with its identity. Collaborating closely with prop builders and the film crew, I delivered a reliable device that performed consistently throughout a demanding production.

Heinz Masterbrand 1 & 2 Production designer São Paulo
Director Pablo Fusco recruited me to helm production design for Heinz’s ‘Masterbrand’ campaign. Over an intensive month, I created 15 distinctive sets, each designed to spotlight Heinz products in varied settings while sustaining a cohesive, iconic brand identity.

In addition to set design, I conceived and directed 12 packshots, overseeing their visual composition and supervising the food stylist to ensure maximum visual appeal. The project required close collaboration with the director and coordination among multiple production teams to meet ambitious creative and technical standards. As a result, the campaign was nominated for Best Ad Campaign at the 37th Rede Globo Advertising Award, one of Brazil’s most prestigious industry honors.

Microsoft Production designer & Set designer São Paulo
As the production and set designer for a Microsoft commercial, I collaborated with director Scott Vincent (Hungry Man) to bring a warm and relatable human story to life. The narrative follows a young father who, after an accidental fall, makes his crying baby laugh, devises an ingenious plan to edit a humorous video to soothe the child.

To create the ideal domestic setting, we implemented bespoke modifications to a real house, incorporating movable walls that allowed us to adapt the layout for each scene and optimise camera angles. My role was to curate a space that felt authentic and lived-in, whilst subtly supporting the story’s progression from domestic chaos to creative resolution—culminating in the moment Microsoft technology emerges as the catalyst for the solution.

Packshots Production designer & Set designer Europe and Brazil
This series brings together packshots developed over several years for different brands.
A packshot operates as the visual signature of a product, a precise image in which form, material, and light define how a brand is perceived.
Working through composition and controlled environments, each image positions the product with clarity and intention, translating brand identity into a distilled visual statement.
