PROFILE
hello@dani.studio

As the co-founder of IntoHaus, a creative and cultural agency, I am an exhibition and cultural projects director working internationally between Europe and Brazil. My practice is dedicated to developing and delivering multidisciplinary projects across contemporary art, exhibition-making, performance, and the moving image.

With over two decades of experience, my career began in film and advertising as a Production Designer for major agencies like Publicis, Ogilvy, and McCann. Leading large creative and technical teams on campaigns for brands such as Microsoft, Nivea, and Canon, I honed my skills in aesthetic direction, strategic planning, and complex logistics. This background now informs my approach to directing cultural projects, bridging the gap between a creative vision and its physical execution.

Today, I channel this experience into collaborating with a diverse range of partners, including artists, institutions, cultural organisations, and brands seeking to engage with culture. My work encompasses the entire project lifecycle, from conceptual strategy and artistic direction to hands-on production, team coordination, and spatial strategy. In 2023, I expanded my practice by founding Into.Gallery, a contemporary art platform that develops exhibitions in flexible and itinerant formats, continuing my commitment to bringing art to new and diverse audiences.

Authored a professional publication examining production design within film and advertising, structured around the full creative, technical and operational lifecycle of a project.

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 undergoing editorial revision and formatting.

Tecendo Entre Mares - TEMAR

Multidisciplinary cultural initiative: an immersive art, science and sustainability experience.

Role: Project conception & Artistic direction


Work in Progress: The project is scheduled to take place in Rio de Janeiro in 2027, with ongoing connections with Barcelona and Berlin.Tecendo Entre Mares (TEMAR) is a multidisciplinary cultural project that creates a dialogue between textile art, marine science, and sustainability. Conceived to address urgent issues such as coral bleaching and the environmental impacts of the fashion industry, the project encourages reflection on the relationship between humans and the natural environment, with a focus on Rio de Janeiro and its coastline.

The initiative offers an immersive experience, featuring an interactive exhibition, textile upcycling workshops, discussions, and audiovisual content. Through these activities, TEMAR aims to raise public awareness of contemporary environmental challenges while promoting social inclusion and income generation for young people from marginalised communities.



Brasilien in Berlin

Festival

Role: Project conception & Artistic direction

Grant: €312,000 (Lei Rouanet, Brazil) Brasilien in Berlin is a 48-hour festival designed to integrate Brazilian and German cultures. The event offers a circuit of art, gastronomy, cinema, concerts, and parties, creating a cultural immersion for Berliners and Brazilians in the German capital.

Presenting Brazilian culture as contemporary and dynamic, the festival showcases current artistic production from both established and emerging artists. The intensive 48-hour format allows participants to engage with Brazilian culture through simultaneous art exhibitions, film screenings, live music, and culinary experiences. The project was supported with a €312,000 grant from Brazil's Lei Rouanet, a federal funding mechanism for cultural initiatives.

Indigenous of Brazil

Group exhibition & symposium 

Role: Project conception & Artistic direction
The Indigenous of Brazil project offers an immersion into the culture of Brazil’s indigenous peoples, acting as a platform for cultural preservation and intercultural dialogue. It combines exhibitions, lectures, workshops, and meetings with experts in anthropology, ethnology, and art to present civilisations often underrepresented in mainstream discourse.

The project features visual exhibitions of indigenous art and artefacts, symposiums for academic context, and workshops for hands-on engagement with traditional and contemporary practices. By positioning indigenous culture as a living heritage, the initiative showcases both cultural continuity and its evolution. Collaboration with specialists ensures accurate representation, highlighting indigenous contributions to Brazilian and global culture while creating space for indigenous voices in institutional settings.

Head of Time

Art Exhibition

Role: Exhibition designer
This exhibition presents A Head of Time, a photographic series by Christian Gaul documenting the zungueiras—women who sustain Accra's informal economy by carrying goods on their heads. Functioning as entrepreneurs, these women support their families and create trade networks that are vital to their communities.

Gaul’s photographs examine these informal trade systems, positioning the zungueiras' work as essential economic infrastructure rather than marginal activity. The exhibition layout follows their routes through Accra, allowing visitors to trace their journeys and understand the scale of their social and economic impact. The title, A Head of Time, references both the physical act of head-carrying and how these women navigate between tradition and modern urban life.

Set design for the Ubiquitous Assimilation performance.


Rube Goldberg Machine

Commercial

Role: Production designer & Set designerFor a Benegrip advertising campaign, I designed a Rube Goldberg machine to visually represent the medicine's journey through the body. This intricate device used a complex chain reaction to perform a simple task, serving as a physical metaphor for the product's effectiveness from ingestion to symptom relief.

The project required precise mechanical planning to ensure each component triggered the next flawlessly for the camera. The machine's aesthetic balanced mechanical function with brand messaging, using colour and materials that aligned with Benegrip's identity. I collaborated closely with prop builders and the film crew to ensure the device operated reliably and safely across multiple takes, accommodating all production requirements.


Tin Man

Short film

Role: Production designer Tim Man is a project exploring emotional disconnection through a powerful visual narrative. It centres on a father who has grown distant from his family, portrayed as a man "without a heart." To embody his coldness and emotional detachment, the protagonist's character was crafted entirely from mechanical elements. In stark contrast, I designed the surrounding environment with warm tones and inviting textures. This juxtaposition amplifies the character's emotional isolation and highlights the central theme of the story.




Heinz Masterbrand 1 & 2

Commercial

Role: Production designer I was invited by director Pablo Fusco to lead the production design for Heinz's "Masterbrand" campaign. Over one intensive month, I developed 15 distinct sets, each designed to showcase Heinz products in diverse contexts while maintaining a consistent brand identity.

In addition to set design, I conceived and executed 12 packshots, taking full responsibility for their visual composition and supervising the food stylist's work. The project demanded close collaboration with the director and management of multiple production teams to meet all creative and technical requirements. The campaign was subsequently nominated for Best Ad Campaign at the 37th Rede Globo Advertising Award.




Microsoft

Commercial

Role: Production designer & 
Set designerAs the production and set designer for a Microsoft commercial, I collaborated with director Scott Vincent (Hungry Man) to bring a warm, relatable story to life. The concept centred on a young father who, to soothe his crying baby, devises a plan to edit a funny video after an accidental fall makes the child laugh.

To create the perfect domestic setting, we modified a real house using movable walls, allowing us to adapt the layout for each scene and optimise camera angles. My role was to design a space that felt authentic and lived-in, whilst supporting the narrative's journey from chaos to creativity, culminating in the moment Microsoft technology becomes the tool for the solution.

Subdivisions

Underground party

Role: Project conception & Set designerArt installation
6 × 3 m
50 modular panels in matte PS

For Subdivisions, an underground electronic music party in São Paulo, I designed a modular visual installation inspired by the event's itinerant nature. Held in secret and alternative locations, the party was known for bringing together national and international DJs.

The installation comprises 6x3 metres of lightweight, cost-effective PS panels that can be reconfigured to suit any venue. This adaptable structure serves as a dynamic canvas for projection mapping, transforming light and movement into an ever-changing sensory experience for the audience.
